plus accelerator!
a place for innovation and development
The PLUS Accelerator, an initiative of the PREDA Plus Foundation, is envisioned as an innovation hub for startups in the community of the Prespa region and beyond, on a national level.
🌐 Enabling a New Wave of IoT Innovation in Prespa
With the installation of LoRaWAN and Sigfox networks in the Prespa region, the PREDA Plus Foundation is laying the groundwork for a new wave of IoT innovation and digital transformation.
This network infrastructure is essential for startups to develop, test and validate modern IoT solutions. Through the PLUS Accelerator in Resen, PREDA Plus has established the region’s first IoT Laboratory, equipped with devices, sensors and technical support that provide real, hands on conditions for product development.
⭐ Why LoRaWAN and Sigfox matter for startups
Coverage across the Prespa region allows devices to operate over long distances with low energy consumption and minimal cost. Regions with this type of connectivity become attractive to international startups, investors, test centres and tech companies, unlocking economic growth and innovation potential.
The networks enable:
• low cost deployment without SIM cards or subscriptions
• innovation in smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, logistics, smart city solutions and safety systems
• real world pilot testing thanks to long range and stable communication
• low entry barriers with devices that operate up to 5 to 10 years on a single battery
• the development of local hardware companies, IoT platforms, integrators and analytics services
• practical digital solutions for municipalities
