A core strength of ours is application development, says Redg Snodgrass, CEO and Co-
Founder of Wearable World. Our mission from the start was to foster the growth of the
wearable ecosystem. We saw the market developing early, built for it, and have put
ourselves in a position to help others succeed in it.
The launch of the Apple Watch, combined with products such as Google Glass, Pebble
and Moto 360, are raising consumer and developer interest in wearable technologies.

FOUNDER, WEARABLE WORLD
Some of the potential technologies Wearable World class participants may focus on
include apps to support nancial services, fashion and education.
"On the software side of our industry we've been missing a key component, the ability to
develop for iOS, says Kyle Ellicott, CTO and Co-Founder of Wearable World. The release
of WatchKit and the previous releases of HealthKit and HomeKit, open up the possibilities
of new product types never yet seen before. That's why we're opening up an additional
class for Winter 2015 to focus solely on the development and integration of these types
of products into consumers lives."
