Why IoT Santander LL?
• The City Council and Regional Government are convinced that a new economic cycle based on knowledge and innova:on will provide the basis for sustainable growth.
• Smart Santander was perceived from the very beginning as a golden opportunity for lining up the vectors of the value chain: § Industry, in par:cular SMEs. § Research centers. § Other agents.
• This situa:on (with some delay) is now par:ally mimicked at na:onal level with more emphasis on the service component.
