With the holidays upon us, the 1776 team took some time to investigate how our startup members could help innovate in the North Pole this year. From reindeer routes to Santa's health, they have the latest technology to keep things running smoothly.
Speaking of health, if you're interested in ebola, mHealth or tracking epidemics, check out Maya Health's great perspective on this issue. There's a lot more to read - including our latest Challenge Cup trend piece on Amman - so keep scrolling!
