New IoTUK Boost Competition – a opportunity for Internet of Things companies

The Innovation Centre for Sensor and Imaging Systems (CENSIS) has been selected as one of four national organisations to hold a new IoTUK Boost competition.  This is an opportunity for companies of any size to work with CENSIS on their IoT products and services and move them closer to the market.

CENSIS will run the competition in conjunction with their partners The Data Lab and the University of Edinburgh’s Informatics Ventures.

20 companies will be selected to attend an intensive two-day workshop in Glasgow.  Up to five companies will then be selected for one-month of incubation support and mentoring.

The theme is ‘People and their Environments’ and it is anticipated that new product and service ideas will be sought in areas such as:

• smart cities / future cities
• mobility / smart transport
• Natural environment / environmental monitoring
• Enabling living spaces (e.g. assisted living, long-term care, energy efficiency etc.)
• General Internet of Things applications around how people live.

Closing date for applications is 12 noon, Wednesday 6 January 2016 

Further information about the IoTUK Boost competition can be found on the CENSIS website.
