Founder and CEO, Startupbootcamp IoT

“We are accelerating towards a significant shift in 2018: moving from the IoT 1.0 with its deluge of useless and complex connected products to a much more mature IoT 2.0 market.

This market is one where IoT in B2B overtakes IoT in B2C and we move from more straightforward IoT solutions to more complex machine learning and AI. The growth of LPWAN or NB IoT based solutions (with new energy harvesting capabilities) will also increase, as will the role of new enablers such as blockchain or voice. Based on the rising importance being placed on creating impactful technology, IoT is paving the way for a system of connected devices that positively impacts society by reducing waste and increasing performance.”
