Smart City Internet of Things Innovation (SCITI) Labs - Center for Innovative Technology

SCITI Labs is “commercial first” innovation, starting with relevant innovation in adjacent non-government markets and adapting those capabilities into government use cases rather than the more traditional Tech Transition looking to push government innovation out to commercial markets. During 2018 we were proved the success of this approach in three difficult challenge areas put forward by the government: in-building sensors, constrained space UAVs for search and rescue, and Smart hub systems for first responder use. The results of the SCITI Labs approach have been dramatic. In January 2018 we released a short (approximately 5 page) Request for Information in each of the three areas, describing the problems to be addressed, and some of the associated constraints. Because CIT and our industry partners TechNexus and Smart City Works all exist within the commercial innovation ecosystem, we were able to reach out to more than 1,500 companies in related areas such as public safety, mining, construction, smart cities, oil & gas and others with similar problem sets. In three weeks, we received 140 applications for participation and downselected to 12 performers. Those performers, with government funding, were able to adapt their commercial offerings over the course of three quarterly reviews.
