The opportunities for exposure for individual creators and small teams in the exoskeleton industry are relatively few. The exoskeleton industry has been growing; there are more mainstream media articles, more products, and more companies than ever before. There are, however, only a few wearable robotics competitions: Cybathlon, The Applied Exoskeleton Collegiate Competition, and the WearRA Innovation Challenge. (which is now entering its fourth year)
