The Scottish Innovation Centre for Sensor and Imaging Systems will provide up to 20 days’ support, over several months, from its engineering and project management teams.
Successful applicants will also receive access to facilities at Glasgow’s Tontine incubator, entry to CENSIS’s programme of Internet of Things (IoT) workshops, and assistance in developing an investor pitch.
Product and service ideas are being invited on a range of subjects, including smart cities, precision agriculture, energy efficiency, building monitoring, assisted living, Industry 4.0, and smart transport. Applications close on 29 June.
Says CENSIS business development director Dr Mark Begbie (pictured): “While a lot of businesses have heard of the IoT, there are still many that don’t understand the huge impact it is likely to have on, not only industries, but society as a whole. Scotland is at the vanguard of that change and our aim is to help as many companies as possible develop products and services to ensure that remains the case.
“This is an exciting opportunity for a small business with innovative IoT concepts, larger companies that are changing their approach to technology, or even individuals with strong ideas to take things to the next stage and get the support they need. We’re looking forward to seeing some new and thought-provoking applications from across Scotland.”
