SETsquared, the partnership between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey, hosted a selection event for Pitch@Palace at Bristol’s Engine Shed earlier this month.

SETsquared collaborates every year with Pitch@Palace, an initiative founded by HRH The Duke of York, KG. This year’s events focus on the Internet of Things and Smart Cities.

The University’s Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Hugh Brady, accompanied the Duke of York on a tour of SETsquared companies, including YellowDog, which was one of the day’s winners. YellowDog, along with other South West start-ups Wriggle and Altitude Tech, will attend the Pitch@Palace Bootcamp in London next month, when they will present to a panel of judges. The judges will then select the companies who present at Pitch@Palace 4.0 at St James’s Palace in November.
