Intel Corporation's early stage accelerator program, Intel Ignite, continues to grow, selecting 30 new disruptive deep-tech startups to join its global cohorts, establishing a customer advisory board and launching a new program in London. "We had over 800 startups apply for our accelerator program for the spring cohort. We chose 30 total across Israel, Europe and the United States. These startups have garnered on average $7.1 million in funding, demonstrating that promising deep-tech early stage startups still get funded despite economic headwinds," said Tzahi Weisfeld, Intel vice president and general manager of Intel Ignite.

The new global cohort and the addition of the customer advisory board further display Intel's commitment to stimulating startup ecosystems around the globe. New cohort members, including those in London, Boston, Tel Aviv and Munich, span a range of technology innovations. See the full list on the Intel Ignite website. In addition to the cohort announcement, Intel Ignite has established its first-ever customer advisory board of chief technology officers, chief information officers and chief data officers from leading companies. Members will help connect cohort startup leaders with high-level tech executives for feedback and business collaboration. Customer advisory board members will also be able to connect advisers to top disruptors in the tech ecosystem, developing a networking pool and opportunities to gain market insights and collaboration prospects with their peers.
