BACKGROUND
Verizon and Newlab created the 5G Studio to support next-generation industry applications of 5G technology to transform healthcare, mobility, energy, and industrial automation.
With an on-site, ultra wideband 5G (mmWave) test bed at Newlab, teams selected for the Studio will build applications that transform how we approach and deliver solutions in a range of sectors.
OUR THESIS
Opportunity Spaces
The 5G Studio’s second cohort is seeking startups working in transformative technology that can leverage 5G to create applications that disrupt industrial automation, energy, and transportation.
Industrial Automation
Startups seeking to enable the next industrial revolution by making smart factories a reality, redefining production, supercharging workforces, and dramatically changing supply chains to quickly and sustainably deliver products to market.
Energy
Reimagining the energy equation in factories, vehicles, cities, suburbs, and isolated locations. From electric vehicle charging to grid management and new means of building construction to the creation of a new green standard for buildings.
Transportation
Fundamentally transforming how the world moves—from how goods are operated and delivered across land, sea, and air to new long-haul and last-mile transportation alternatives.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
The Newlab 5G Studio program is designed for startups that envision leveraging 5G to revolutionize their industries. The ideal candidates should have applications that can be further enhanced by the advent of 5G.
Ideal candidates in Industrial Automation demonstrate innovation in smart factory technologies, integrating AI, IoT, and collaborative robotics to optimize production processes, enhance workforce efficiency, and revolutionize supply chain management.
In energy, we are interested in solutions spanning electric vehicle charging infrastructure, smart grid management, renewable energy sources, energy-efficient building construction, and the establishment of new green standards for buildings.
Transportation companies may focus on pioneering advancements in autonomous vehicles, drone technologies, logistics optimization, or sustainable transportation alternatives.
