Startups and Their Impacts on Smart Buildings

January 24, 2019 By SBC

According to research done by Memoori (a Smart Buildings Research organization), there have been over 600 active new entrants in the smart buildings commercial sector since 2009.  Memoori has recently published a report that demonstrates the critical contribution that Startups are making to the introduction of innovation in the Smart Buildings space.

According to Memoori, 2018 has proved to be a record year for investment, with over $2.4 billion invested in startups in the smart buildings sector.  This shows increased confidence by investors in the sector and indicates the positive response that companies are receiving for their products and services in the market.

The report provides a comprehensive evaluation of startup companies in the smart buildings space.  Among the 64 charts provided in the full report, Memoori identifies some interesting analytics such as the Top 5 Segments by Number of Startups (BIoT platforms contains the most startups since 2009), as well as the Top 15 Startups by Total Funding (with View Dynamic Glass as the leader in investment funding).

A summary of the report is available here, and the full report is available for purchase here.
