Cisco ThingQbator MNNIT

The name “thingQbator” is a combination of ‘Internet of Things’ and ‘Incubator’. thingQbator was started as an internal incubator of IoT ideas coming from Cisco’s engineer community. With the central belief that none of us is smarter than all of us, the aim was to create makerspaces where IoT enthusiasts could learn more about digital technologies in a hands-on environment and turn their ideas into working prototypes. Inspired by the success of our internal makerspaces Cisco has come up with the concept of “thingQbator for Universities”, a virtual makerspace and program to help universities and academic institutions accelerate innovation around IoT and digital technologies in their campus towards the goal of creating startups.
