Hello 👋🏽
Are you interested in applying Internet of Things (IoT) to your development or humanitarian work, to get better, faster and more actionable data?
This form is to confirm your expressed interest in our Frontier Technologies Livestreaming (FTL) pilot - IoT for a Data Revolution. At this stage, we are primarily looking for donors, NGOs, and programme implementers.
Our objective for this pilot is to work with a range of partners (such as yourself) to (in)validate our central hypothesis by testing the technology in a range of contexts.
Our hypothesis:
If we embed Internet of Things (IoT) connected buttons, sensors or other devices in development programmes, then we could collect real time, accurate and consistent data that would enhance accountability and decision making.
We would like to bring on board donors or implementers of development programming to help test whether this idea works in the field and in what contexts it is most useful!

We are interested in real, in-country use cases. Therefore, we strongly encourage that your expression of interest is submitted on behalf of your organisation/programme/department.
