RAPID PROTOTYPES
Steinkjer is one of the few demo cities in the world who has a low power wireless IoT-coverage. Nornir is rolling out LoRa and Dash7 coverage in the city centre. This means that it is very easy and cost saving to set up new smart city solutions.
Having the smart city infrastructure in place in Steinkjer makes a great benefit when it comes to developing IoT prototypes.
WHAT YOU DEVELOP IS YOURS TO KEEP
It is possible to bring you own business cases to the event and use the Things4web Challenge to get help to develop prototypes for you own business.
At the event you will meet professional industrial designers, hackers, coders, advisors and investors giving free advice and help throughout the challenge.
Source codes and designs that are developed for your idea will be yours to keep at the end of the competition. Have fun, be open minded and get your prototype up and running. Lets rock this joint!
