To continue building on the IoTC’s early successes, the Cleveland Foundation has awarded another $2.2 million, one-year grant to the collaborative, which was created in 2017 to position Cleveland as a leader in digital innovation.
The new funding follows $2 million in grants the foundation awarded the previous two years to help establish the IoTC and attract top academics and create research labs for the initiative.
“The foundation’s initial support has allowed our universities to make significant progress in advancing research and working with communities and companies on practical applications of this technology,” Case Western Reserve University President Barbara R. Snyder said. “With this new grant, we will be able to enhance our respective strengths and contribute even more to Cleveland’s role as a true technology leader. We cannot thank the Cleveland Foundation enough for this additional investment in the Internet of Things Collaborative.”
