UK cities and businesses are being encouraged to apply for a 10m fund in a competition that will revolutionise the way the Internet of Things (IoT) benefits citizens by offering environmental improvements, economic opportunities and more efficient and effective delivery of services such as transport, healthcare and energy. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Innovate UK are offering up to 10 million for a single collaborative research and development project to demonstrate the capability of IoT in a city region. The competition is part of a wider 40 million government investment in IoT announced in March 2015.”]
