– Telefónica’s global accelerator programme for digital start-ups, Wayra, which launched in Ireland in May, today announced the ten winners that will be entering the Academy . The winners were chosen from a shortlist of 20 projects by an independent judging panel following two days of pitches and training during ‘Wayra Week’, which has been running since Tuesday.
Wayra Ireland received a record-breaking 335 project applications, following an initial call for entries – the highest number of applications per capita received to date by any of the 12 academies around the world.Pic:Maxwells-no fee
