SmartRural was born from our frustration that rural areas are the last to benefit from digital technologies as a result of a ‘city first’ model of expansion. Seeing the digital divide between rural and urban continue to grow we decided to draw upon our expertise in co-operative development to find a better route to digital enablement – one that directly involved those who own and work the land.

SmartRural offers a wealth of sensor-based solutions that help rural Scotland work smarter, not harder’ and a refreshing ‘farmer-first’ approach to the co-operative use of data.
