The Journey

• Ancient China, soldiers stationed along the
Great Wall would alert each other of impending
enemy attack by signalling from tower to tower.
In this way, they were able to transmit a
message as far away as 750 kilometres (470
mi) in just a few hours
2100 BC

• Polybius, a Greek historian, devised a more complex
system of alphabetical smoke signals around 150 BCE,
which converted Greek alphabetic characters into
numeric characters.
It enabled messages to be easily signalled by holding
sets of torches in pairs. This idea, known as the
"Polybius square", also lends itself to cryptography
and steganography. This cryptographic concept has
been used with Japanese Hiragana and the Germans in
the later years of the First World War.
150 BC

• On 13 May 1897, Marconi sent the world's first
ever wireless communication over open sea.
The experiment, based in Wales, witnessed a
message transversed over the Bristol Channel
from Flat Holm Island to Lavernock Point in
Penarth, a distance of 6 kilometres (3.7 mi).
The message read "Are you ready".
1897

• The first official UK mobile phone call was
made by comedian Ernie Wise on New Year’s
Day 1985. But an earlier call was made that day
to Sir Ernest Harrison, chairman of what was
then Racal Vodafone, by his son Michael, who
said: “Hi, it’s Mike. Happy New Year. This is the
first-ever call on a UK mobile network.”
1985

• The concept of the Internet of Things was
invented by and term coined by Peter T. Lewis
in September 1985 in a speech he delivered at
a U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
• Kevin Ashton supposedly coined the phrase
"Internet of Things" while working for Procter
& Gamble in 1999.
1985 or 1999

In the beginning…
The goal of the Web is to serve
humanity. We build it now so
that those who come to it later
will be able to create things that
we cannot ourselves imagine.
- Tim Berners-Lee

By 2009, 25% of the world is online!

And in 2009, the Internet went Mobile and became Ubiquitous!

And with Internet Ubiquity came Industry Disruption
More and more major businesses and industries are being
run on software and delivered as online services—from
movies to agriculture to national defense. Many of the
winners are Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurial technology
companies that are invading and overturning established
industry structures. Over the next 10 years, I expect many
more industries to be disrupted by software, with new
world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption
in more cases than not.
Marc Andreessen
Why Software Is Eating The World
2011

More powerful phones means more disruption
The world's most popular media owner
CREATES NO CONTENT
The most valuable retailer
HAS NO INVENTORY
The largest accommodation provider
OWNS NO REAL ESTATE
The world's largest taxi company
OWNS NO VEHICLES

The Taxi industry is a notable victim

And newspapers may go the way of the buggy whip

1996-2005

Meanwhile in another galaxy called “Smart Cities” …

What is broken about Smart Cities Today?
Mostly Tax/Debt funded
projects without
sustainable economic
models
Private sector operated
platforms are
approaching monopoly
status
Stand-alone Smart City
Deployments lack
interoperability built on

So what does a DigitalTown look like?

So what does a DigitalTown look like?
The City Website becomes
the home page of the city to
search, connect and transact
locally.
A mobile application and

instant access to public and

from city to city and town to

Economic Development
Grow the Local Economy and Attract Capital through “Smart”
Branding
Civic Engagement
Partner with Community to co-create Quality of Life
Digital Inclusion
Equip stakeholders at all levels to participate
Smart Tourism
Empower visitors through
Smart Wayfinding

City Governance

Single Sign On across
all City Services
Smart Search
available 24/7
Leverage technology to improve usability and efficiency of public services
 Efficiencies frees up personnel to work on self-funding Smart City initiatives

Economic Development
Keep Funds in the Local Economy
 The 6 Pillars of Local Consumption: Retail, Services,
Dining, Lodging, Property, Transportation
 Countering the “Extraction Economy” via local e-
Commerce
 Search Local, Connect Local and Buy Local. Accessible
24/7 via web and mobile
 Smart Buying Guides lets consumers shop like an
informed local (e.g Seattle.Menu)
 Shared Infrastructure for Local Delivery
 Transaction revenue and capital access funds Civic Engagement

Civic Engagement
 Mobile Apps for citizen vigilance – next-generation Blockwatch
 Real-time alerts based on geo-fence location for public safety risks
 Citizen aggregation of video cameras
Community Policing
Partnering with Community for Quality of Life
 Civic Engagement gets residents involved
Problem Resolution
 Mobile reporting of city problems, e.g. blocked drain, pothole, etc.
 Allow community to not just report problems but solve them too!
 Accrue Reputation Asset

Digital Inclusion
Digitally Challenged
 Every merchant gets a Digital store at no cost
 Every consumer has a Digital Wallet at no cost
Economically Challenged
 Not “Unemployed”. “Starting Up”.
 Send and Receive funds without fees
Physically Challenged
 More work from home work opportunities
 More opportunities for “shut-ins” to interact
 Increased opportunities to identify and develop latent productive capacity
Equip all stakeholders to participate

Smart Tourism
Create a Culture of Visitor Inclusion
Culture and Technology combine to make tourists feel welcome
 Shared multilingual platform for residents and tourists
 By connecting like-minded persons, the residents become the attraction!
“See the World through Local Eyes”
Reinvent work flows around enabling technologies
 Smart Telecom for wayfinding, shopping booking, delivery, and payment
 Tourists as “Prosumers” who participate in the process from end to end
See -> Engage-> Transact -> Deliver  Share
Acknowledgment: Prof. Dimitrios Buhalis,
Bournemout, Univ.
 First-time Visits become memorable Experiences cemented by Relationships

Practical Considerations and Closing Thoughts
Creating a Smart City is a Process not an Event. It should
feel like a movement with a shared mission.
 City management itself may not lead the multi-stakeholder buy-
in process
 Merchant participation may start with smaller retailers and
virtual operators before larger retailers
 There will early adopters, late adopters and non-adopters

Smart City – Business Opportunity

MK Data Hub
• Central to the project is the
creation of a state of the art
big data hub – ‘MK Data Hub’
• This will support the
acquisition and management
of vast amounts of data
relevant to city’s systems
• Located in the heart of the
city at University Campus
Milton Keynes

MK Data Hub
The MK Data Hub will curate and make available a variety of
Big Data sources to 90 SME’s;
• Local and National Open Data resources – opening up of
non-personal data (data.gov.uk)
• Data streams from key infrastructure networks (energy,
transport, water etc)
• Relevant Sensor Networks ( weather, pollution)
• Satellite Data
• Data “crowdsourced” from social media or through
specialised apps such as Facebook, Twitter etc
• Wholesale Data – buyers and sellers can come together

Data Science
MK Data Hub will also provide a range of new business
engagement services that will utilise advanced novel Big Data
science methods such as visual analytics, data mining,
predictive analysis which will analyse, enrich, annotate and
integrate data sources to transform “ raw” into “rich” data

Energy
We are collecting data about
driver behaviour in the city and
devising new strategies on
reducing peak hour demand.
This includes coupling EV
charging with solar electricity
generation making use of local
battery storage at home
We are collecting , collating and
analysing Milton Keynes energy data
to create a living energy Open Energy
map that will empower local
communities and businesses to
understand energy trends. This will
use a multiple of sources – citizens
data, open data, satellite etc

Transport
• To combat traffic congestion in the fastest growing city in the
UK, we are developing a city wide Transport App called
Motion Map.
• Available to the public in 2017 and will show movements of
people and vehicles across the city in real time
• It will include embedded timetables, car parking, bus and
cycle information, crowd density and congestion
• Sensor based technology, small cameras and visual analytics
will be used
• This will not only provide Citizens with access to personalised
information but will allow community groups and business
with a platform to build new cloud enabled transport services

“ Of the various tax instruments
available to government, R&D Tax
Credits have the advantage that they
seek to help companies that are
themselves prepared to invest in
R&D. Government does not need to
choose sectors or companies, with the
result that R&D can be encouraged
in the widest possible range of
sectors, taking advantage of
businesses’ own insights into likely
breakthroughs”

the right to question the claim or supporting evidence of costs etc.
 For new claimants turning over less that £2m, and employing less
than 50 staff, since December 2015, they can request “Advance
Assurance” from HMRC.
 This would be agreed on a project by project basis in advance of the
R&D being carried out, or at least in advance of a formal claim – but
only claimed on submission of tax returns, so after the end of the
financial year that the qualifying expenditure is incurred.
 If agreed, HMRC will, or say they will, make no enquiries for three
years, as long as the company sticks to the agreed plan.
 In order to agree, HMRC will want to see a similar “justification” of
the R&D as qualifying, as they would have to make in a normal
retrospective claim, as well as estimated costs and duration of
project.

Advantages
 For young companies looking for funding, acceptance for advance
assurance would provide evidence that HMRC would fund roughly
between 19% and 33% of qualifying R&D costs.
 Once agreed, and provided company sticks to plan, that contribution is
secure – HMRC promise of no enquiries.
Potential Issues
 Approval process would be time consuming with no guarantee of success.
 Hard to know what would happen if Company project was turned down,
then later the company claims in the normal way.
 The approval process will be handled electronically (web, email and phone)
by one HMRC R&D Unit.
 No obvious right of appeal if rejected.
 Every applicant’s project would be examined by an HMRC Inspector – right
now they themselves say that only about 5% of current retrospective claims
are examined.

Situations where we can help
 New Claimants where R&D has not been previously carried out or recognised.
 Existing claimant where they want to be sure they are claiming all they are
entitled to claim and only what they are entitled to claim. Typically companies
say “ We have it all under control”.. We often find that they do not.
 Existing claimants where HMRC have instigated enquiries into new or previous
claims or both.
 Situations where companies are using other R&D Tax consultancies and want to
compare service levels and/or costs.
 We offer a free audit on previous claims where there is still time for
amendments.
 Where an Accountant is bidding to new clients and wants to demonstrate an
expertise in R&D Tax Credits.

Offers prospect of enabling:
• New town / estate to benefit from "state of the art" knowledge,
technologies and practices for supporting population health and wellbeing
• Residents to participate in ongoing co-creation of health innovations within
local settings.
Innovation Partnership approach may offer exemplar model for other new
towns and villages.

Themes
• Local health and care system: key challenges
• Lancaster University’s strategy
• Current developments: focus on linking major new
infrastructure developments around Fylde area
• Major opportunity to advance population health in Lancashire

Health in Lancashire: Inequalities

Spend on “complex” individuals

Health: Funding gap in Lancashire
• By 2020/21, estimated gap between patient needs and public
sector resource budgets in Lancashire = £805 million
• NHS Five year Forward View emphasises preventing ill health,
redesigning services, harnessing innovation and technology,
maximising value of NHS budget
• Essential approaches:
1. Address key lifestyle and behaviour change
2. Involve individuals and local communities
3. Join up services
