Deep tech ecosystem builder IoT Tribe has opened its European base in Dublin base.
IoT Tribe grew out of Startup Scaleup – a European Commission-funded IoT accelerator operating across four European hubs, one of which was Dublin. That programme, which ran from 2015-2016, supported more than 130 start-ups from 47 countries, and gave birth to what became IoT Tribe in 2017.
IoT Tribe has nearly a decade of experience delivering high-performance accelerator programmes, open innovation challenges and corporate venturing initiatives across energy, smart infrastructure, industrial tech and beyond. Having supported more than 500 start-ups and scale-ups from over 30 countries, engaged more than 150 corporates and public agencies as partners and technology adopters, and built a global network of more than 200 mentors and experts, Tribe combines deep technical expertise with a worldwide ecosystem to support partners rapidly validate concepts and scale commercially viable solutions.
“Europe’s deep tech moment is here, and it will be won or lost on execution. Dublin is the natural launchpad for Tribe’s European operations: a city we’ve worked with for ten years, home to world-class engineering talent and a corporate base serious about adopting frontier technology. From here, we’ll scale the model that has already proven its value to corporate and government clients across Europe and beyond,” declared Tanya Suarez, Founder and CEO, IoT Tribe.
“Corporates across Europe are done debating whether to engage with deeptech. They want partners who can de-risk adoption at speed. That is the gap Tribe closes in Ireland, and across the continent,” declared Marcus Roberts, director of operations, IoT Tribe.
Tribe’s European operations are backed by its first Ireland-based hire: a head of incubation in Dublin, who will lead on-the-ground community building and programme delivery that have created Tribe’s model effective across its other markets.
