Antwerp-based IoT solutions startup Rombit has raised a total of $25 million as it has announced the close of its Series B round. Having been thrust into the spotlight thanks to its COVID contact tracing wearable, the Belgian startup will continue to focus on the worker safety and productivity market and plans to significantly scale operations in the EU, the US, and the Middle East. With its flagship offer, the Rombit ONE, the company provides blue-collar industries with a guardian angel of sorts. On the investment, Belgian Deputy Prime Minister Vincent Van Peteghem commented, "Their wearable product has been discovered by many companies during the COVID crisis. It has proven to be an accelerator for Rombit to invest more and to grow."
