The Manchester City Council has selected three businesses that will implement IoT smart technologies with the goal to deliver smarter services and create a real-life blueprint for smart cities worldwide. The project will be launched through CityVerve – the UK’s smart cities demonstrator.

 

The companies that were chosen are Apadmi (a Manchester-based mobile technology provider), Tracsis (a provider of transport survey and data-capture services both to the private and public sectors across the UK), and Retail Sensing (a Manchester-based people counting and data collection provider).

 

Each of the selected company has convinced the council that their technology are capable of addressing challenges identified in the council city’s centre review. Result from their trials are expected to become available in the summer.

 

Richard Elliott, Head of Policy, Partnerships and Research at Manchester City Council said: “I’d like to congratulate the three successful firms who have been chosen to become recognised CityVerve suppliers.  This is a fantastic platform for them to showcase their business, contribute to the wider CityVerve project and demonstrate how digital innovation can work for Manchester.”
