2. Why
IoT
Santander
LL?
• The
City
Council
and
Regional
Government
are
convinced
that
a
new
economic
cycle
based
on
knowledge
and
innova:on
will
provide
the
basis
for
sustainable
growth.
• Smart
Santander
was
perceived
from
the
very
beginning
as
a
golden
opportunity
for
lining
up
the
vectors
of
the
value
chain:
§ Industry,
in
par:cular
SMEs.
§ Research
centers.
§ Other
agents.
• This
situa:on
(with
some
delay)
is
now
par:ally
mimicked
at
na:onal
level
with
more
emphasis
on
the
service
component.
