288 ITS UK has introduced a new membership category to support start-up companies in the sector.  The UK public sector’s rapid uptake of open data principles and the restructuring of large ITS employers during the recession has prompted the growth of small, innovative companies. This new category allows small companies that have been trading for less than two years to join the Association for a third of the cost of the standard fee. Graeme Scott of 5897 IBI Group and the membership director of ITS UK said the new cost-effective category will allow many smaller organisations to participate and benefit from ITS UK’s activities and contribute to a stronger and more representative association.
