Highlights ● Mercedes-Benz Turk selected Starters Hub - Startupbootcamp’s strategic partner in Istanbul as its innovation partner in 2017 for their 50th anniversary. Their primary focus was on engaging startups whose creative ideas will benefit the environment and that could have a positive social outcome and provide solutions to improve the quality of life. ● Their collaboration has led to unique access to promising startups like Thread in Motion, which has resulted in a first-of-its-kind pilot that made Mercedes-Benz Turk’s processes more efficient and ergonomic by using technologies. ● Thread in Motion graduated from Startupbootcamp Istanbul in 2016. The company produces authentic smart fabrics by combining textile and its technology. Thread in Motion’s new product, a smart glove named WIOS, aims to prevent blue-collar personnel from making mistakes by using these gloves.
