Bergen Robotics in startup partnership with IBM

With great excitement, we at the Norwegian Cognitive Center can announce that Bergen Robotics – who builds a platform for autonomous camera systems has been accepted into the ‘Startup with IBM’ program, making them an official IBM partner.

Bergen Robotics uses fixed and steerable sensors combined with robotics and artificial intelligence algorithms to autonomously capture context and details from different air or ground carrier technologies, such as multicopter drones, fixed-wing drones, manned helicopters and robots.

This collaboration enables Bergen Robotics access to IBM's huge network of business partners and technical and technological resources that allow them to grow their business to a greater level and further disrupt the industry. “We are very excited to be accepted for the ‘Startup with IBM Program’ and look forward to having access to the more than 130 unparalleled services offered by IBM and to benefit from their great network,” says Nils Jacob Berland, CEO at Bergen Robotics.

“The program started with a digital workshop between several IBM and Bergen Robotics staff, where the details of Bergen Robotics’ business model were analysed and discussed. Already in this process, the program began to create value through the expertise that was present in the meeting, helping to sharpen the product market fit for the company,” says Berland.

The startup program from IBM is an international program, but a brand new service for Norwegian B2B startups and, for now, only available through collaboration with the Norwegian Cognitive Center. Accepted companies get a dedicated contact person from the startup team throughout the 12 month program period. Based on the program path (‘Incubation’ or ‘Acceleration’) you can customize activities within business or technology that best fuels the startup company's journey.
