A chance to prove your idea works
The STFC Hartree Centre has announced the launch of a £50,000 competition for UK SMEs to win ‘Proof of Principle’ vouchers to help them unlock the business opportunities offered by the Internet of Things (IOT).  The competition is building on the Hartree’s transformation of STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory into an IoT ‘living lab’ – one that is instrumented, interconnected & intelligent.  Application forms can be downloaded from the website and must be submitted by Friday 20th November 2015.
