Smart County of Oxfordshire
The interactive Smart County infographic below highlights four major projects we are directly involved with (in the pink boxes) that are key to our vision for a Smart County of Oxfordshire. It also showcases additional possibilities (in the white boxes) that technology can bring.
If you cannot view the infographic, please find a text version of the content here.
A Smart County operates on a larger scale than a smart city, often covering multiple jurisdictions and services. It leverages information and communication technologies to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately improving the quality of life for its residents.
