Participants in Innovation Labs 2016 benefit from access to bleeding edge technologies offered by our partners. You may choose to merge your idea with the open potential of these technologies to create a prototype that pushes the present into the future.
The Orange Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots are installed on real vehicles used for public transportation and have a real time monitoring platform, accessible through an API available upon request towards Orange team. They enable applications based on always connected mobile environment sensors or IP cameras, real-time positioning, speed and direction of buses, and communication between operators, passengers, local authorities and citizens.
Some examples of applications that a team can develop starting from this Orange benefit are:
In order to receive access please contact the support tech@innovationlabs.ro.
An automated service for sending and receiving Application2Person messages that allows the SMS communication and real time reports for all stages of message delivery. Through this service, SMS messages can be sent using short numbers to any mobile number (MSISDN) belonging to all four romanian GSM operators.
The sending procedure is very simple and can be done only based on a SOAP Client, developed from own resources by the beneficiary, regardless of the development environment or the used operating system. The SMS API is available only in the Orange network for designing an MVP prototype and is aimed to be used only for test purposes. For product extension to other national or international networks or non-testing purposes, the SMS API availability is subject to commercial terms.

Wyliodrin is a web IDE used to program and monitor embedded devices such as Raspberry Pi and Intel Edison.
Using Wyliodrin you can remotely access your embedded boards and write applications that are stored in the cloud and deployed on multiple boards. You can use any programming language from visual ones, to Python, JavaScript, C/C++ or Bash scripts using an universal pin control library that exposes very simple functions such as "digitalRead" or "analogWrite".
Wyliodrin also offers a graphical debugging and control system based on graphs.
All Innovation Labs participants will receive a Developer account for free on the duration of the program. To redeem your free account please sing in to wyliodrin and then send an email to support@wyliodrin.com in which you specify the email address you signed in with.
Microsoft supports startups that want to grow their software development idea by offering them the benefits available in the Microsoft BizSpark program – a program which is providing its members, for free, access to the Microsoft technology and software needed to achieve this goal.
The program lasts for 3 years and offers eligible startups free access to all the Microsoft software products (1000+), via the MSDN Ultimate subscription, and also full access to Microsoft cloud computing platform – Microsoft Azure – for 5 developer accounts which receive 150 USD / month each, totaling 27000 USD of cloud services for the 3 years.
The software is provided with a licensing model that can be used commercially (to generate revenue for the startups) thus adding to its value and contributing to the startup development and growth.
