Liverpool innovation centre Sensor City has welcomed two new tech tenants.
Open source engineer and design expert DefProc Engineering has joined Sensor City’s community of businesses and will use its new base to explore Internet of Things capabilities even further, expand its team, run events and undertake the roll-out of 10 new gateways.
Jennifer Fenner, managing director of DefProc Engineering (above, right), said: “We have recently relocated to Sensor City to access its state of the art equipment, and to be in the heart of the activity following the Liverpool 5G Consortium bid win, which we are part of.”
BiBCOM Ltd, which enables sports coaches to communicate directly with players during training sessions, has also taken desk space at Sensor City.
BiBCOM is now working with the renowned Sports Science Department at partner institution Liverpool John Moores University.
Easa Taheri, owner of BiBCOM, said: “The extensive support we have received from Sensor City, in particular the help and support of Dr Joanne Phoenix, made us choose the hub as the location in which to grow our business.
“We’re already experiencing the benefits of being surrounded by such a supportive community at Sensor City, and we are starting to explore synergistic links with other tenant companies which are also involved in sports training.”
Joanne Phoenix, business development manager at Sensor City, said: “It’s a really busy and exciting time for us at the moment. We’re seeing more companies looking to introduce sensor and IoT technology into new and existing products and services.
“It’s great to know we’re attracting these companies to Liverpool City Region as opposed to the likes of London and Manchester – we’re truly moving up the ranks of what is considered a leading global hub for innovative technology.”
