Startups at LIL-Bangalore will participate in an intensive 16-week accelerator program and have the opportunity to partner with the Lowe’s Innovation Labs to deploy their technology in the US interested startups are encouraged to apply online.
“In our first year, Lowe’s Innovation Labs demonstrated a bias toward action – doing and not just talking, and Bangalore will be an extension of our team’s work in the US,” said Kyle Nel, executive director of Lowe’s Innovation Labs.
“We are energized by the talent and community in Bengaluru, and are excited to build our global portfolio with a focus on developing entrepreneurs in addition to technology,” he added.
