Urban Innovation
The Scotland 5G Centre has supported a number of early demonstration projects which are now reaching maturity. Full details of the projects can be found on here.
The University of Glasgow, one of the Centre’s founding partners, have led on the development of our 5G and Urban Innovation theme. The project focuses on strategic economic sectors including education, health, finance, manufacturing, tourism and the creative industries. As a first step, it will deliver a 5G-enabled Smart Campus at the University of Glasgow as an urban laboratory for 5G.
The campus provides an exemplar in a high-quality and compact setting, and this manageable scale facilitates the creation of a 5G-enabled Smart Campus as a natural test bed, crystallising and connecting UK capabilities within a highly visible transformation programme.
Representatives from the University of Glasgow, including Professor Muhammad Imran, will present on their progress and the links to the wider Glasgow Riverside Innovation District (GRID) in this through a short webinar on Wednesday 30 September 2020.
