We are proud to announce that the SCALAB Accelerator has once again joined the group of partners of Warsaw Industry Automatica – one of the largest industrial automation trade fairs in Poland.
For years, SCALAB has been building a bridge between bold technology creators and leaders of Polish and European industry. Partnering with Warsaw Industry Automatica is a natural step forward – creating innovative solutions requires space for meetings and meaningful conversations with industry experts.
This is a particularly exciting moment for this collaboration, as SCALAB is currently recruiting for the 5th round of its acceleration program. This is the final round of the current edition – and a unique opportunity for innovators working in robotics, IoT, and artificial intelligence.
What does the SCALAB program offer?
This time, SCALAB is looking for startups ready to address challenges defined by FANUC Polska – a European leader in industrial automation and robotics. This is not about a proof-of-concept that stays in a drawer. It’s about solutions that will be implemented in real production environments.
Challenges in this round, defined by FANUC Polska:
Industrial IoT and Edge AI – expanding robotic environments with advanced operational and energy analytics
Natural voice communication – transforming dashboards into active decision-support tools
What selected companies will gain:
A grant of up to PLN 340,000
A tailored acceleration program with professional support from mentors and industry experts
The opportunity to collaborate with one of Europe’s leading industrial automation companies
What sets the SCALAB program apart from dozens of other technology accelerators is the specificity of its challenges and the real involvement of its partner. FANUC Polska is not just a logo sponsor – it defines real problems and expects working solutions. For startups, this is a rare opportunity: a clear goal, real resources, and a testing environment that most companies take years to build.
For participants of Warsaw Industry Automatica, this signals that the ecosystem around the event is growing. More and more is happening not only at the exhibition stands, but also around them – in programs that connect innovators with industry throughout the year.
More information about the program, detailed challenge descriptions, and the application form can be found directly on the SCALAB website.
Applications for the 5th round are open only until April 19, 2026. Now is the time to register:
