Aug 15, 2025

Annual program recognizes innovations that integrate with and enhance Trimble’s open technology ecosystem

Trimble has announced the finalists for its annual Trimble 0-60 Challenge, an accelerator program designed to identify and support the most innovative startups, entrepreneurs and developers in the architecture, engineering, construction and asset lifecycle management industries. Sixteen companies were selected for breakthrough ideas that solve critical customer pain points and enhance workflows through software integrations.

The finalists were selected across three key categories: Connected Data, Connected Design, and Connected Field or Jobsite, leveraging integrations with Trimble Connect, ProjectSight®, SketchUp® and Tekla® software solutions. The companies selected represent innovations in connected construction, with many solutions harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to drive efficiency and innovation.

The finalists include:

  • Connected Data: Datagrid, Genda Inc, Join, Kamai, Permio and TestFit
  • Connected Design: Kestrel Labs, KOPE AI, NavLive, Qonic, Qubu, SWAPP and Ulama
  • Connected Field or Jobsite: Now Vision, Sensori and Mechasys


The Trimble 0–60 Challenge is organized in collaboration with Trimble Ventures, a corporate venture fund that supports early entrepreneurs developing transformative technologies. Beyond providing capital, Trimble Ventures offers unique industry expertise, helping companies refine their technologies and go-to-market strategies and accelerate innovation within construction, transportation, geospatial and other core industries.

"Startups and smaller companies often lack the market reach and established connections needed to fully succeed in today's competitive landscape," said Chris Peppler, vice president of platform and product at Trimble. "The Trimble 0-60 Challenge helps bridge this gap by providing entrepreneurs with the tools, expertise and support to more effectively build and market their solutions. We are proud to support these companies and help amplify their impact across the industry.”

The 16 finalists recently took part in a two-day kickoff event at Trimble headquarters in Westminster, Colorado, where they received hands-on support from and access to Trimble experts to test and advance their integrations. Over the next 12 weeks, each team will continue to refine its solutions to enhance existing workflows and unlock new opportunities with Trimble integrations.

The Trimble 0-60 Challenge will culminate in the highly anticipated Demo Day event at the Trimble Dimensions User Conference in Las Vegas from November 10-12, 2025. First, second and third place winners will receive cash prizes. All participants can offer their integrations on Trimble Marketplace, a key entry point to the Trimble developer ecosystem where users can discover additional verified integrations to extend their Trimble solutions.

“Attending Dimensions and watching Demo Day provides a unique chance to see firsthand the innovations that are reshaping how we design and build,” said Peppler.
