By At the end of each edition, Free Electrons traditionally announces two awards: the winner startup and the Shin Akimoto individual award. This is always an exhilarating moment, and this year’s Grand Finale was no exception:
Free Electrons 2021 Winner
We’re thrilled to announce the winner of this year’s edition and $200,000 USD reward: KelTech IoT.
The Irish startup founded in 2019 provides smart solutions for the communications infrastructure and property technology market. Their Dual Distributed Network (DDN) solution optimises the deployment of communication networks by combining electricity and fibre in an ‘all-digital’ solution using Digital Electricity.
Congratulations for the FE21 award and for KelTech IoT’s great performance during the whole program.
