Tracking the best Internet of Things - Industry Applications companies in United Kingdom, this directory ranks 1,215 ventures by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum, with $4.7 billion in total capital on the table. That's a real number. Zego leads at $282 million raised, and Dexory has pulled in $120 million, two data points that tell you the sector isn't a cottage industry anymore. Two unicorns have already cleared the threshold, and the funding spread, from Hadean's $66 million down to GripAble's $17 million, shows a healthy mid-tier building underneath the headline names. So what's actually driving deployment? Hot themes in the data right now are industrial IoT, 5G latency optimization, and IoT security gateways, all of which reflect the infrastructure layer maturing faster than the application layer above it.
Momentum is real here. Median install growth across internet and connected-device app categories is running at roughly 13% year-on-year, and I'd argue that understates the industrial segment specifically. Coverage in this space is rising steadily, with 5G rollout accelerating the unit economics for always-on connected hardware. Investors like Mercia, EIC Fund, and SETsquared are active across the stack, which means you're looking at a capital base that includes both patient public-backed money and commercially disciplined private funds. That mix tends to produce companies built for durability, not just demo day.
