Rendever, the leading virtual reality company focused on reducing social isolation and depression amongst the senior population, was named the winner of 35th The New England Innovation Awards’ Healthy Living category. The New England Innovation Awards is the oldest and longest-running Innovation Competition in New England that has recognized and propelled industry-leading operations like MassChallenge, iRobot, Vistaprint, Keurig and zipcar, to mention a few.
The 8-month-long innovation season launched in March, with nearly 100 start-ups, representing 8 categories; 24 teams advanced to the final, live phase of the competition that featured a final pitch, live exhibits and Q&A sessions. A group of prestigious judges evaluated the companies on their innovation disruption and prospect to affect positive change for their users, industries and markets – and awarded the title to Rendever.
