SmartParts, that has created an embedded digital barcode for 3D printing. The young team of university friends from Germany launched the company just last year and since joining the platform have already been backed by the likes of UC Berkeley's SkyDeck fund, multiple investors, and AI experts in the US and Germany. This can remove barriers to greener workflows by making the identification, installation and optimisation of them as painless and low-resource as possible. This has enormous productivity improvement potential, with around 80% of factory improvements currently getting stuck in the ideation phase.

Its AI solution creates a true-to-life simulation of a plant with a single 3D scan, empowering teams with the tools and flexibility to collaborate and improve on factory design from anywhere in the world.

RIIICO, that has designed a 'Sims-style' drag and drop virtual factory floor. The two joint winners were chosen following an intense eight-week training programme to hone their business model and approach, concluding with a final presentation to a panel of expert judges to pitch for the resources to globalise and gain access to Hexagon's extensive customer base. The company launched the Sixth Sense open innovation platform in January to challenge how multinationals approach innovation and help nurture creative solutions to emerging manufacturing challenges by connecting with world-class companies to solve some of humanity's biggest challenges. With sites in more than 50 countries, its manufacturing technologies help make 95% of all cars, 90% of all aircraft and 85% of all smartphones worldwide. Hexagon is a multi-billion dollar pioneer in digital reality solutions, combining sensor, software and autonomous technologies to address new challenges with greater insights.
