So the following resources may be helpful for businesses large and small, as well as local leaders looking to unleash innovation. This was all part of our Hyperconnected project, endorsed by Innovate UK which explored and proposed governance, financial and policy instruments to help deliver smart city programmes at scale.

Our White Paper Smart City Demonstrators – A Global Review of Challenges and Lessons Learned outlines best practices and lessons learned captured from existing demonstrator projects to help guide and inform the next generation of city-based projects.
