Internet of Things mentoring opportunity
Up to eight Scottish companies are being offered the chance to embrace the next industrial revolution under a new business mentoring programe.
Through its IoT (Internet of Things) Explorer programme, CENSIS – the Scottish Innovation Centre for Sensor and Imaging Systems – will provide up to 20 days support from its engineering and project management teams to help firms develop new digital products and services.
Applicants will also enter CENSIS’s programme of IoT workshops, and receive help in developing investor pitches.
Submissions are being invited on a range of subjects, including smart cities, precision agriculture and energy efficiency, with the application process closing on June 29.
“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,” saidDr Mark Begbie of CENSIS.
“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.”
