“I’m extremely proud of our second-place global finish in the Internet of Things category“ stated ARHT Media CEO Larry O’Reilly. “Being able to showcase our tech stack and business model to an illustrious panel of VC judges, representing billions of dollars of investible capital, and having them select us as the second-best innovation and entrepreneurial opportunity globally is an incredible endorsement of our business model.”

The competition held an initial round of 10 overseas sessions in global regions that included Sydney, Toronto, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Stockholm, Madrid, Boston, Silicon Valley and London. The best entries from each division were shortlisted to attend the final round in Shenzen from April 9th to April 12th, 2019.
