Building Smart Markets for Resilient Tech Ecosystems - by IoT Tribe
Description changed:
With more and more focus on reaching the UK's Net Zero targets, connectivity is coming into focus in the minds of local authorities. Connectivity and sustainability come hand in hand, as better connectivity means more avenues for data collection and access, which in turn allows more granular and optimal control of energy use.
With almost every city having set their own NetZero targets and employing more connected technologies in attempts to meet them, the groundwork for smarter cities across the UK is well underway. Cities across the UK have begun building bigger and stronger ecosystems to support new, innovative technologies.
Join us to hear from our partners at the DMC and Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council to hear how they are facilitating technology development in the region as well as from startup founders on the importance of strong ecosystems in supporting their growth.
The event link will be sent out to attendees one day before the event.
