Written by CSIC Director Dr Jennifer Schooling and Mott MacDonald Global Water Sector Leader, Mark Enzer, the article highlights the benefits of early adoption of ‘Smart’, a global opportunity worth up to £4.8 trillion.

“Data, the ownership of it and, perhaps more pertinently, the ability to understand and act on it, is key to the future of smart infrastructure. Industry, organisations and professionals need to be ready to adjust in order to avoid being left behind and to take advantage of the emerging opportunities.”
