Elemental Machines CEO Sridhar Iyengar to Explore the IoT's Role in Accelerating Science at Webit Festival Europe


Elemental Machines today announced that CEO Sridhar Iyengar, PhD, will present at Webit Festival Europe, a leading series of events that gathers the world's top enterprise leaders, Europe's top policy makers and the hottest startups and founders.

Taking place Apr. 25-26 in Sofia, Bulgaria, Webit brings together more than 250 speakers from more than 80 countries to examine business opportunities at global scale with a goal of further igniting the growth of local ecosystems and creating a platform for dialogue between policy makers, enterprise and entrepreneurs.





What:

        Iyengar will explore how IoT technologies are supporting the next wave of innovative, science-based companies, accelerating innovation with sensors and machine learning applications designed around the complex processes of biology and chemistry.
 

Why:

Science-based companies, including pharmaceutical, synthetic biology, material science and agriculture are often challenging and capital-intensive investments, making them daunting for investors and entrepreneurs.
