Glasgow Named an IBM Smarter City

Glasgow City Council announced that it has become the first UK city to win a grant from the IBM Smarter Cities Challenge initiative. The grant, worth up to £250,000, provides Glasgow with access to IBM experts who will immerse themselves in local issues and offer a range of options and recommended next-steps. Among the issues examined will be healthcare, education, safety, social services, transportation, communications, sustainability, budget management, energy, and utilities. The bid for a Smarter Cities Challenge grant was made through the city's Sustainable Glasgow initiative.
