3 STARTUPS TO WATCH
Combining Apple beacon technology with design
sensibility, the winners of last year’s KONE API
challenge will be piloting their yet-to-be-unveiled
world-first mobile interface for better People Flow
at Slush 2015.
Bttn
KONE is working with Finnish startup Bttn,
creators of the world’s simplest internet interface:
an irresistibly cute one-press button that can be
programmed to execute any preset task from
calling an elevator to hailing a cab, from any
location of your choice.
Indoor Ninja
The new smartphone-based visitor management
app is expected to be ready for commercial launch
in 2016. KONE supported the Estonian startup in
piloting the new system in Tallinn.
