Trimble selects 16 finalists for 2025 Trimble 0–60 Challenge; program moves from Westminster kickoff to Las Vegas Demo Day
Trimble has named 16 finalists for its annual Trimble 0–60 Challenge, an accelerator that seeks startups, entrepreneurs and developers building software for architecture, engineering, construction and asset lifecycle management. The selected teams began a two‑day kickoff at Trimble’s headquarters in Westminster, Colorado, received hands‑on help from Trimble experts and will spend the next 12 weeks refining integrations before a Demo Day at Trimble Dimensions in Las Vegas on Nov. 10–12, 2025.
What happens next
Following the Westminster kickoff, each finalist will continue to develop and test integrations with Trimble systems over a roughly 12‑week period. The program will conclude with a Demo Day at the Trimble Dimensions user conference in Las Vegas, where teams will present refined solutions. Cash awards will be given to first, second and third place, and all participants can make their integrations available on the Trimble Marketplace, a discovery point for verified developer integrations.
Purpose and selection criteria
The Trimble 0–60 Challenge is designed to surface breakthrough ideas that tackle real customer pain points and improve workflows through software integrations that work with Trimble’s open technology ecosystem. Finalists were chosen for concepts that promise to streamline tasks, enhance data flows and unlock new opportunities when paired with Trimble products.
Support from Trimble Ventures
The challenge is organized in collaboration with Trimble Ventures, the company’s corporate venture group. Trimble Ventures provides capital and industry know‑how intended to help early teams refine both their technologies and go‑to‑market approaches. The venture group focuses on accelerating innovation across construction, transportation, geospatial and related sectors.
Practical help at the kickoff
At the Westminster kickoff, finalists worked directly with Trimble teams to test integrations and troubleshoot technical issues. The event aimed to give startups access to product specialists, platform tools and real data scenarios so they could speed progress during the 12‑week run‑up to Demo Day.
Market access and visibility
Beyond engineering help, the program offers routes to market. Finalists will have the option to list integrations on the Trimble Marketplace, which serves as an entry point into Trimble’s developer ecosystem and a place where users can find verified extensions to Trimble solutions. The conference Demo Day also provides visibility to potential customers and partners attending Trimble Dimensions.
Related company context
The company moved its corporate headquarters to Westminster in 2022, which remains a major U.S. employment center for its core market segments. The Westminster campus was developed using the company’s technologies and includes LEED‑certified buildings and an outdoor technology testing area. Trimble describes its core tech as positioning, modeling, connectivity and data analytics, aiming to link digital and physical work.
Security note and other industry items
Separately, the company addressed a security issue affecting its Cityworks asset management software. After investigating reports of third‑party exploitation, a patch was issued for affected on‑premises versions. The company warned that some deployments had overly broad Internet Information Services (IIS) identity permissions and advised against running IIS with local or domain administrative privileges. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency added the vulnerability to its known exploited vulnerabilities catalog; researchers noted threat actors were using multiple tools in the activity.
Mergers, platforms and partnerships
Recent corporate moves cited in related materials show continued portfolio activity, including platform deals and integrations with businesses that help contractors digitize workflows. The company has acquired several niche providers over the prior year and continues to connect third‑party platforms to its systems to reduce manual processes and expand functionality.
Other brief items
One separate industry note mentions a global predictive procurement platform aligning with a consulting firm to support supply chain and procurement practice work. This item is unrelated to the challenge but appeared in the same set of compiled facts.
Why this matters
The accelerator links startups directly to product platforms, testing resources and a marketplace for distribution. For construction and asset management tech, such connections can shorten development cycles, improve interoperability between tools and give smaller teams routes to customers they might otherwise have trouble reaching.
