Loc8 has won the CeBIT Award for Innovation 2015. The award was given for Loc8’s work with Australian company Programmed Facility Management to support the social housing sector in Australia and New Zealand. Over a period of 18 months, Loc8 consulted with governments and other agencies to build and test the concept. Loc8 invested significant resources and financial investments required to develop and commercialise the system.
