EU/US Workshop: Promoting Global IoT Success Stories

Analysts predict that new Internet of Things (IoT) products and services will grow exponentially in the next years. There are more and more reports giving evidence on the growing importance of the role internet of things will play driving our future smart lives (in transport, energy, health, environment, cities). Additionally, many SMEs and large market stakeholders are working on Internet of things and expected applications as bringing promising booming businesses.

Nevertheless, there are many factors which keep the global market fragmented, and which slow down the expected rapid growth of these new business activities. This workshop aims to explore important topics, which have to be addressed by important actors on the US and the EU side to support a truly global market. The workshop brings together leaders in the IT community with the purpose of initiating a policy framework where industry can express the challenges and limitations they perceive with regard to the current policy. The proposed outcomes of the workshop will be to:

• Identify few areas of common interest where cooperation can be established at the level of policy,
• Provide room for policy discussions
• Research or operational real market-driven projects like open platforms stimulating IoT ecosystems
