The Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge, has launched a new executive training course called: The new era of customer experience: Optimising engagement across digital, physical and social channels. A 10% discount is offered to the Pitch-In network.

Pitch-In funded Kat Easton and Stephen Potter, both of the University of Sheffield, and Mindwave Ventures, a digital development company, to devise, develop and run a series of a series of 4 webinars, each dealing with a different subject in the area of digital health innovation.

On 19th May the Pitch-In programme hosted the fourth session in its series of online mini-events: Successful innovation in manufacturing using the Internet of Things. The event demonstrated how digitalisation and the adoption of IoT can transform efficiencies, and in particular how low-cost automation, collaborative analytics, and strategic digitalisation processes can be implemented in small, medium and large manufacturing companies.

On 12th May, our third online dissemination event took place: The Internet of Things in Smart Cities and Smart Regions. Attendees were able to find out about key projects that have investigated the barriers to the adoption of IoT in Smart Cities and Smart Regions and methods for overcoming these barriers.

The 5th May saw the second in our series of five online events: Developing the Internet of Things in Low-Carbon Energy. . Attendees had the chance to hear how projects have investigated barriers to developing low-carbon energy applications along with methods to overcoming these barriers.

The first in our series of five online dissemination events, Collaborations for Care: The Internet of Things for Health and Wellbeing, took place on 28th April 2021. The presenters shared insights gained about how to demonstrate the value that IoT can offer to our health and social care systems and practices.

A recording of Sheffield IoT Meetup #11 'IoT in Rail' is now available - hearing from business leaders and technology experts on the use of digital technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), in the rail industry.

Pitch-In was delighted to support the tenth Sheffield IoT Meetup "IoT start-up to scale-up" earlier this month. It marks a milestone in the successful series initiated back in October 2019.
