General Electric Digital has acquired Israeli Nurego, a company that supports operations for IoT networks that link industrial machines.
The acquisition comes after a two-year relationship between GE and Nurego, in which the startup operated GE’s platform Predix, software that GE called “the operating system for the Industrial Internet”.
