As "Birds of a feather flock together" and "footsteps tell a story", I decided to look at companies in FF Hollins portfolio & FF Partners.

TELENSA
Telensa Ultra-Narrow-Band (UNB) – the application-proven Smart City network
Telensa UNB is the most deployed type of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) network, with over 9 million devices using it today. LPWA wireless networks are ideal for IoT applications because they are free from the high costs of cellular and the operational complexity of mesh networks. LPWA combines low cost, simple deployment and the long-term stability of unlicensed spectrum in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands. The natural strengths of LPWA for smart city applications has sparked a rush of companies to enter the market. Telensa is different. We have ten years experience of deploying networks and we are the only provider to provide our UNB network as part of an integrated app-to-device solution, when other companies produce component fragments. We are also a leading player in the ETSI standards body and a board member of the Weightless SIG.

FRESCHFIELD PLC
Introducing Freschfield Smartskinz: High performance Building Platforms. Freschfields’s technology allows for a cost effective, 360° solution. It makes it possible, for the first time, to integrate smart and sustainable energy systems through the entire exterior skin of a building into the architecturally designed building envelope.

Freschfield's Partners: (wrt cutting edge tech)Given
CelluForce
Nano One
JLM Energy
Quantum Materials
CelluForce
The core properties of CelluForce NCCTM allows its use in diverse applications leading to new or improved products and processes
Self-assembles
The crystals that comprise CelluForce NCCTM interact with one another to form a structured liquid crystal.
Strong
CelluForce NCCTM is an inherently strong material because of its high crystallinity.
Thixotropic
Fluids containing CelluForce NCCTM are shear thinning, meaning they decrease in viscosity with the application of shear.
Active
CelluForce NCCTM surface is comprised of hydroxyl and acidic groups that are reactive and can be functionalized with other chemicals
Nano One
Nano One is a Canadian technology company with a scalable industrial process for producing low cost high performance battery materials and a wide range of other advanced nanostructured composites. This novel three-stage process uses equipment common to industry and is being engineered for high volume production and rapid commercialization.

JLM Energy
Solar plus Energy Storage solutions. We designed an entire energy bundle to bring you efficiency and savings in your utility bills.

......Given what we already know about Smartskinz; my impression is that it's the intent of FF to incorporate as many cutting edge technologies into a single product and make it pretty nigh impossible for any others to follow.
I've already wondered about whether roads/driveways and etc could be covered by Smartskinz w/Solar/Battery/IOT capabilities.
....just imagine roads covered w/a product that's lighter than alum and stronger than steel to meet infrastructure needs, while retaining the rights to solar, (for utilities) and IOT, (for telecom etc).
......Things are getting interesting to me.
