During 2009 we had a local SmartCamp in Dublin Ireland:  Here is an overview of the selected finalists

After a very busy week – including 22 interviews we have managed to narrow down a long list of applications to 5 exciting companies. Overall we were surprised and delighted with the quality of the responses and the pitches.

The finalists cover everything from cloud computing to forestry management, energy efficiency, waste management and social search.  

We also saw number of very early stage disruptive technologies which could transform traffic systems and help tackle some of the toughest challenges in mental health, microfinance and disease control. Hopefully, we have more to tell about these at future SmartCamps.
