Data City

About IoT UK

IoT UK is a national program to amplify the UK's IoT capability. The IoT UK Boost activity is designed to support IoT innovation and adoption across the business and the public sector through a series of local innovation challenges and incubation activities across the UK.

In partnership with ODILeeds and the Digital Catapult Centre Yorkshire, we're boosting the Internet of Things (IoT) across the Leeds City Region and Yorkshire.

Over the coming months, our events will connect micro and small businesses with the people and organizations who have problems that IoT might solve.

Everything builds up to our main event at ODILeeds on the 11th and 12th of February, we hope you will join us in building new stuff together.

Learn more by signing up to our launch event in Leeds, our launch event in Bradford, or both. (There will be a free lunch.)
