Huawei, one of the world’s leading ICT specialist companies, is an official partner on the MK:Smart project.

Pete said: “Milton Keynes is at the forefront of cutting edge technology and all round smart thinking and we were pleased to be invited to sit at the ‘world table”.

Geoff Snelson said: “Milton Keynes’ smart cities credentials are enviable - driverless pods, electric buses, the ‘Internet of things’, to name but a few – and there is much more to come.”
