The event brought together some of the most forward-thinking organisations in the sector, making it a valuable platform for MoniRail to demonstrate the potential of its technology. From a pool of 83 applications MoniRail, alongside KIGO and Trackbase, has been awarded further funding. Each of the three selected companies will receive £13,000 to advance their business cases, along with tailored support from Connected Places Catapult to identify prospective clients and accelerate market adoption.
