Flexeye, an UK-based privately-held software and solutions provider, on Wednesday opened HyperCat, an accelerator and incubation centre in Hyderabad, to nurture Indian startups in the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities space.

HyperCat, a not-for-profit consortium involving 700 international businesses including British Telecom, Cisco, Flexeye, KPMG, Symantec and WSP, is led by Flexeye and supported by the UK government.
