The Smart Present to The Future State

Our IOT Special Adviser Joe Dignan talk at the Digital Jersey Annual Review about The Smart Present to The Future State.

Our Involvement

At Digital Jersey, we are working both to promote the Island’s existing strengths in IoT technology and to foster new and innovative products and services. We do this with the support of government through:

  • The IoT/infrastructure group, which brings together representatives from a cross-section of utilities, Department for Infrastructure, and tech companies, to look at how Jersey, as a ‘smart island,’ can develop its capabilities in IoT
  • Developing the technical infrastructure in order to create fertile ground for innovation and investment
  • Support for organisations looking to use Jersey as a testbed. We are proactive in connecting businesses with investors and providing support to companies applying for funding.
  • Engagement with off-island companies interested in using Jersey as a testbed, including major global brands such as Apple, Microsoft, Samsung & Cisco
  • Developing partnerships with off-island organisations such as TechUK and IoT UK in order to encourage accessible, effective, knowledge transfer
Our integrated island testbed

The opportunity to develop, test, and launch new innovative products, without the high cost and complex legal, government and regulatory barriers faced in other cities or markets such as London.
