Title: The Internet of Things: Show Me the Money!
Abstract: The Internet of Things has sparked great investment and media coverage. Fantastic stories are told as to what can be done when we live in an IoT enabled world. But how do we get there from here? Who is even talking about buying 100 million internet connected autonomous nodes let alone ten billion? This presentation will look at the business and technology drivers and challenges facing IoT. It will address who are going to be the big spenders on IoT in the short term – and who are not. It will look at some of the technology bottlenecks – in other words, the opportunities – that need to be addressed and what is being done to address them so far, from energy harvesting of self powered nodes to security. The presentation will conclude with an assessment of the potential market size based on new data from IDTechEx Research and hopefully provide you with a fresh perspective on your opportunities amidst the frenzy.
