Internet of Things cities demonstrator
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is to invest up to £10 million in a single collaborative R&D project to demonstrate the capability of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a city region. This competition is part of a wider £40 million government investment in IoT announced in March 2015.
The aim of this demonstrator is to show how the large-scale deployment of IoT can benefit citizens by offering environmental improvements, economic opportunities, and more efficient and effective delivery of services such as transport, healthcare, and energy.
