Belarusian software development company Gurtam has launched a global annual competition to find the Internet of Things (IoT) project of the year.
In a press release, the IT firm said any company engaged in implementing telematics and IoT solutions was eligible to participate in the competition; the location and size, software and equipment applied was not important.
The competition’s primary aim is to demonstrate IoT projects by evaluating their economic benefit to clients, scaling options and other criteria.
The winners will be selected via 15 nominations (long-haul shipping, public transport, local deliveries, etc). The application for participation can be submitted free of charge until July 30, 2020, on the Website. Any projects implemented from January 1, 2019, to May 1, 2020, are eligible to participate.
The competition’s organizers intend to create a generally available global knowledge base with the best telematics and IoT projects, in order to exchange experience and best practices for generating solutions applied in fleet management, personal tracking, and monitoring of stationary units.
This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the awarding of the winners of the competition will be arranged online on August 13, 2020.
