Purpose and goal
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project´s objective was to develop a functional test bed and incubator where new IoT services and business models for public organizations can be tested with the aim of meeting the global societal challenges. A number of pilot projects were also tested, with good results, within the test bed. The work of developing proposals for business models continues as organizational changes are required in order to be able to continue the test bed in a good way with sustainable and secure business models.
Expected results and effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The result of the project is a test bed where public as well as private actors can test IoT services and business models. A number of pilot projects have been completed. Some of them are being transferred to the regular operations. The knowledge of the project, its activities and function has been spread in Halmstad municipality and initiated a number of new project. The results of the project have also provided insights into what working methods around innovation and what collaborations are needed to deliver smart socially beneficial services.
Planned approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The test bed was built around a software platform that handles the data collected from various IoT sensors. The data has been used in the various pilot projects, which have been run by staff from the municipality and ISOV. The approach has been very successful from an project perspective, but in order to be able to build on the project and use it in Halmstad municipality´s activities, organizational changes are now beeing prepared, partly to be able to clarify responsibility and traceability for data, but also to be able to implement good business models.
