Team composed of ten engineering students from Spain will work in IOT and Wearable technology solutions. Lab will be hosted by MediaTek Labs in UK and will be supported by MediaTek platforms and technologies.The program will provide guidance and support to the next generation of IoT innovators
MediaTek, a global leader in fabless semiconductor design, and
Telefónica, one of the largest telecommunications providers globally,
today announce their collaboration in Telefónica’s Labsinitiative. The agreement will allow for the development of a Lab,
a temporary innovation cell co-hosted by MediaTek Labs, which will
allow ten engineering students from leading Spanish universities to work
at MediaTek’s R&D offices in Cambridge, United Kingdom, from
September through December of 2015.
Members of the Lab will be coached through a number of tasks, including developing demonstrations for key tradeshows, working on new proof-of-concepts for IoT and Wearable devices built using MediaTek LinkIt™ development platforms, learning how to produce innovative Android applications using MediaTek’s 3D graphics SDK, testing, technology benchmarking, and creating digital content in Spanish and English. This collaboration is an important milestone since it marks the first time in which a Lab will be held outside Spain.

Labs are temporary innovation cells composed of
multidisciplinary teams that work within companies and organizations on
specific challenges posed by new technologies and the digital
revolution. Labs builds on the existing Talentum Startups
program, part of Telefonica’s Open Future open innovation initiative,
that seeks to foster entrepreneurship, innovation, new technologies and
the development of young talent by offering opportunities for students
and/or new graduates to work in high innovation environments, either on
existing projects or developing their own.
“Since their inception in 2014, more than 15 projects have been carried out through the Labs initiative with 150 high-potential students participating in them. MediaTek’s participation in the program will allow Labs
to extend the international reach of the program and expose more
students to international work experience and technology innovation,”
said Carlos Lopez Blanco, Global Head of Public Affairs and Regulation,
Telefónica.
“MediaTek Labs believes that students are one of the groups at the
forefront of emerging technology innovation and an important source of
entrepreneurship,” said Marc Naddell, Vice President of MediaTek Labs.
“In collaboration with Telefónica, we are excited to support the next
generation of creative and driven pioneers to work on interesting new
prototype devices and applications using MediaTek technologies.”
Through the Labs initiative, MediaTek Labs seeks to share
MediaTek’s 18-year heritage of innovation in the broader electronics
value chain and product solutions. MediaTek Labs is a comprehensive
developer hub that gives the maker and developer communities the support
they need to develop innovative hardware and software solutions based
on MediaTek products. From smart light bulbs, to the next-generation of
fitness trackers, to smart watches, MediaTek Labs is a robust ecosystem
supporting device creation and application development for creative and
driven pioneers.
