Cognicity Information

Cognicity is the city of the future, realised today. This pioneering project, set up by Canary Wharf Group and run by Entiq (formerly known as Pivotal Innovations), will identify and accelerate the development of smart city technology products and services to create a leading smart city within one of the world's greatest capital cities. This vision will be realised through the Cognicity Challenge. It is divided into six streams and is currently open for applications, but be aware: this is not a typical competition. Cognicity partners and accelerator sponsors will provide guidance and mentorship to the selected companies for a period of 12 weeks. After the accelerator lab, 6 successful companies (one for each stream) will win a £50,000 cash prize and will have the opportunity to pilot their solutions in the ongoing development of Canary Wharf. The Cognicity Challenge will transform Canary Wharf into a sentient city, helping its residents, businesses and visitors manage their lives more efficiently using the power of technology, making the smart city of future a thing of today.
