Comment Print

CHATTANOOGA's Company Lab-sponsored GIGTANK 365 program and its Co.Lab Accelerator for startups employing ultra high-bandwidth in their businesses recently announced gigabit-driven participants in their Summer 2016 offerings.

The summer session of GIGTANK 365 -- one of three cycles annually -- and the concurrent CO.LAB Accelerator will begin May 16 and culminate with a Pitch Night before investors and startup supporters on July 27, 2016. The venue is the Edney Innovation Center.

GIGTANK 365 focuses mainly on 3D printing, software defined networking (SDN) and Healthcare -- though startups with compelling stories in other verticals are also considered for admission.

Mike Bradshaw is executive director of the Company Lab (CO.Lab) and entrepreneur in residence for GigTank365. See GigTank's list of nearly 50 corporate and institutional sponsors here.
