Introduction
Urban population growth coupled with climate change present new
challenges for densely populated city environments. While these
challenges are substantial, they also present a unique opportunity for
companies that develop, service and sustain our urban areas.
World class assets like the Connected Places Catapult in London, Sensor
City in Liverpool and the Open Data Institute in Leeds, combined with
projects like Bristol is Open and testbeds like the Digital Health Living
Lab in Brighton support the UK Government’s continued investment in
its smart cities nation.
Smart cities are all about innovation and here the UK leads the way with
a strong track record in developing and commercialising solutions. The
UK has also fostered substantial new innovations in digital technologies
such as IoT, AI, 5G, sensors and electronics systems, geospatial and
blockchain, all of which underpin future smart city developments.
UK smart cities strengths lie across the board from world leading
design, engineering and consulting companies to internationally
recognised standards bodies and highly innovative SMEs in key fields
such as infrastructure, transport, communications, security, energy and
healthcare.

SMART CITIZENS
UK companies have been involved in smart city projects across the globe such as Boston’s MBTA in the US,
India’s Dholera City in Gujarat, South Korea’s Daejong Smart City and are keen to partner with international
companies to develop business opportunities in the UK and international markets.
Collaboration is critical in smart city projects given their complexity and here the UK excels. For example,
Cambridge based Telensa has recently partnered up with Samsung SDS on smart street lighting projects in
South Korea and the US, as well as on the Urban Data Project. This is a cloud platform that creates a trust
infrastructure for urban data, enabling cities to collect, protect and use their data for the benefit of all citizens1.
Citizen centricity and governance, especially around data - privacy, security and transparency - is at the heart
of UK smart city design. UK designed and developed technologies are supported by the UK Government in
their commercialisation, enabling organisations and companies to enhance productivity and for individuals to
ultimately lead better lives.
The UK Government through the Department for International Trade supports UK smart cities companies to
achieve their export ambitions. We have chosen a cross-section of high performing UK smart cities companies
to demonstrate the opportunities available for you and your local partners, in sharing the UK’s knowledge and
expertise for mutual benefit.
Please note that the companies included in the following pages represent a cross-section of the UK smart cities
ecosystem and that the information shared has been sourced from the public domain.

UK Ecosystem Overview
Glasgow
Building from the Future Cities demonstrator, Glasgow now
has the infrastructure in place to support larger projects,
and the capability to be more proactive in managing public
services. Noted strengths include urban transport and
energy performance. Glasgow’s role as lead partner in the
Scottish Smart Cities Alliance is providing the city with
more opportunities to build on its experience.
Peterborough
Peterborough has transitioned from its
Peterborough DNA initiative to a fully-
fledged smart cities programme focused
on integrating and scaling up successful
initiatives. The city’s focus on a range of
environmental programmes, particularly its
development as a Circular City, provides an
important and unique perspective on city
innovation.
Bristol
Having established a strong strategic and
technical basis for smart city development,
Bristol is increasingly focused on the
deployment of innovative, cross-cutting pilots and the
integration of successful projects into city operations. The
Bristol Is Open project, provides a 30Gpbs connection
while the City Operations Centre provides an evolving
platform for the integration of existing and new services.
Bristol continues to lead the way in areas such as
open data access, energy innovation, and community
engagement.
UK Smart Cities Directory 8
Glasgow has set an ambitious target to be carbon net zero by 2030 and
continues to drive smart city innovation. The University of Glasgow is
transforming it’s campus to become a “smart campus”, a major canal
in the city has become Europe’s first “smart canal”, and a major street
in the city is being converted to a “smart street” with a range of smart
energy applications such as district heating, demand-side management,
electrical vehicle charging (including from intelligent street lighting),
and renewable energy.
The programme can be replicated and adapted for delivery in other cities
across the world to support smart, sustainable urban development.
BSI’s tiered smart city portfolio of international guidance material and
standards is central to the SCLP methodology and approach including
the PAS181 “Smart City Framework” and PD8100 “Smart City Maturity
Matrix”.
The needs of smart cities align closely with the with the challenges of
AI & Data, Clean Growth and Future of Mobility outlined in the industrial
strategy.
AI and Data
AI and Data technologies are the key enabler needed to build and
operate a smart city. From smart energy systems to manage renewable
energy for electric vehicles, businesses and homes to utilising health
and transport data, AI & Data are essential to delivering more efficient
city services for all.
Clean Growth
For the world to meet the aims of the Paris Agreement, cities will
have to become zero carbon, and be efficient and non-polluting while
remaining productive. The UK is aiming to have world’s first ‘net-
zero carbon’ cluster by 2040 and is investing more than £2.5bn on
clean growth innovation between 2015-2021. Decarbonising cities
and geographical areas will only be possible through a whole systems
approach and the grand challenges will ensure transport, heating and
power systems work together in one place to achieve low cost, low
carbon energy.
Future of Mobility
A smart city needs efficient transport, enabled by new technologies.
The UK government has already invested £1.5bn into the electrification
and automation of road vehicles. UK companies are global leaders in
trialling and demonstrating mobility-as-a-service through £90m Future
Mobility Zones, stimulating the development of new and improved
modes and services, frictionless payment options, and utilising mobility
data making journeys greener, easier, safer and more reliable.
Overview:
Smart governance is the intelligent use of technology to improve decision-making through better
collaboration among different stakeholders, including government and citizens. By utilising comprehensive,
real-time data, government agencies and private sector institutions are better able to understand citizen
demand patterns and are thus able to respond more quickly and cost-effectively.
Case Study
Capita Software provides specialist enterprise software solutions
which support the education sector, local government, the emergency
services, the health sector, utilities and other private sector markets. In
the UK Capita support 210 local authorities with software solutions to
ensure that 5 million residents a year can claim the benefits they need.
In the London Borough of Bexley, Capita have worked with the local
council to achieve its fastest ever processing time of housing benefit
new claims and change of circumstances. During the partnership Capita
have invested over £6.5m in new technology which has increased
automation of manual processes and redesigned the way individuals
access the housing benefits service. Users can now also upload
evidence online, making the turnaround time even faster.

Health
Overview:
Smart health can tackle the treatment, management and prevention of illness. It uses the connectivity of
a smart city to link patients to their health provider, taking advantage of more efficient communication
methods and sensor/smartphone data. Combined with the power of data analytics and AI, health data can
be analysed to extract valuable new insights about the patient and overall health of the city.
Case Study
Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and a team from the Science and
Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Hartree Centre, are collaborating
with IBM Watson AI technology to make hospital stays for children
welcoming, not daunting.
Using this valuable insight, clinicians at Alder Hey will be able to make a
hospital stay for a child less daunting, by providing a more personalised
service for a child while also being able to identify clinical trends more
quickly that could affect patient flow and effectively make significant
cost savings.
The future for Alder Hay envisages Watson technology as the brain of
the new ‘Living Hospital’ with sensors and the Internet of Things acting
as the senses that provide information back to this brain. In addition,
the hospital will interact with the public through chatbots and robots.

Security
Overview:
The rise of increased data sharing and new business models within smart cities creates significant
vulnerabilities and security issues. This has created opportunities in the cyber security sector for IoT
devices and networks. The UK’s world leading universities are the leading edge of this new IoT cyber
security market.
Case Study
The UNHCR organization in Iraq are targeting more than 1 million
displaced Iraqis and refugees that need cash assistance. Currently over
120,000 vulnerable families in Iraq and approximately 30,000 non-Iraqi
families in the country receive cash support via the UNHCR. A Cash-
out identification solution was required to increase the registration
capacity for beneficiaries whilst, making it more convenient, removing
duplication of effort, eliminating fraud and identity theft and making it
easier for use by the elderly.
Iris recognition is the most accurate, fast and secure biometric personal
identifier available today. The on-boarding process for iris biometric
capture is fast and simple - the IrisGuard imager captures a greyscale
image of the iris, converting it to a reliable and permanent Unique
Verifiable Identity (UVI) template that is used for cross-matching
purposes. IrisGuard’s EyePay® Phone is the first of its kind; and capable
of authenticating identity on a global scale within 3 seconds. This
new smartphone combines IrisGuard’s expertise in iris recognition
technology with mobile capability, providing the world’s only one-
to- millions iris comparison in real-time – increasing the number of
beneficiaries served with higher standards of accountability and
efficiency.
IrisGuard’s partnership with the UNHCR and Zain Cash has delivered
a program utilizing our end-to-end EyePay® Cash platform across
70 Zain Cash agents’ locations in Iraq, which has in the last 4 months
processed over 47,000 transactions amounting to $20M and growing.

Overview:
Data analytics allows computers to quantify the millions of digital elements of urban life that are created
by sensors and the Internet of Things. To realise the benefits of data analytics it is essential that data is
shared throughout the smart city. Open data projects collect either full data sets or metadata from existing
databases, often from multiple sources, into huge, searchable databases or archives of different types of
machine-readable media.
