The month on January continues to bring the end of the year reviews and beginning of the year opportunities. And in The Pitch today we highlight two important pieces of information from our innovation ecosystem.

Their strong tech portfolio features a diversity of teams including the fields of IoT, systems, security, robotics, med-tech, AI and environment.
