In 2016 hebben de overheden in de Metropoolregio Amsterdam in samenwerking met de Amsterdam Economic Board een prijsvraag digitale economie uitgezet. The Things Network was één van de winnaars die met een bedrag van € 500.000 aan de slag ging om het eerste – open en gratis te gebruiken – Internet of Things data netwerk ter wereld te ontwikkelen. Nu, twee en een half jaar later, kijken we wat er van deze ambitie is gerealiseerd en welke lessen zijn geleerd.
