Local leaders in government, technology, universities and the wider business community are racing to develop smart technology for transport, communication and their wider economic infrastructure. This seminar assessed progress in the UK, focusing on implementation and opportunities for growing the industry.
Following increases in investment and further advances in machine-to-machine technology, delegates discussed best practice for implementing infrastructure in large cities, funding challenges and the relationship between local and central governments and businesses. A further area for discussion was the significance of both open data and big data, and their impact on innovation and improving services, as well as risks relating to cyber-crime and cyber-security.
