Smart Cambridge boost as GeoSpock adds big data component

Cambridge took a significant step towards becoming a smart city avatar this month as Smart Cambridge struck a partnership with big data specialist GeoSpock to unlock the siloed information which underpins a data-first smart city strategy. The data – harvested from digital records around the city on CCTV, from scientific measuring devices, from all relevant digital assets – will be fed into GeoSpock’s spatial big data platform. From there it will be curated to provide analytics, build insight, and enable predictions across space and time.
