The Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative from the European Commission aims at developing key building blocks of the internet of tomorrow and shape its development towards an internet of humans that responds to our fundamental needs, including trust, security, openness and inclusion, and in general reflects the values and norms we enjoy in our society. At the core of the initiative stands a research and innovation programme dedicated to directly support in...

After the successful launch of the first edition of the workshop on “Internet of Things (IoT) for Smart Cities & Communities Convergence” at IoT Week 2017, we are now inviting you to join the next level of standards convergence to support cities & communities at IoT Week 2019 in Aarhus, Denmark - organised jointly by an alliance of international institutions and networks.The dramatic rise in urbanisation has facilitated the adoption o...

This session will provide the audience with the EU’s vision and strategy for IoT Research and Innovation, moving into the Horizon Europe timeframe. Both sides, offer and demand, will be considered as the origin of many upcoming research opportunities in the fields of industry, smart cities, energy efficiency, big data, applications for health and care, agriculture and trusted IoT platforms, among others.

The rising awareness of climate change has caused the popularization of sustainability and the realization that we need to do things not only differently, but better.As focus shifts to finding solutions to climate issues, technological advancements and innovation present a promising way forward. The Internet of Things, for example, which Boston Consulting Group estimates will boom into an $267 bil...

The Next Generation Internet of Things (NGIoT) is an initiative to build a resilient European IoT Hub. It acts as an accelerator for the whole European IoT ecosystem towards transforming the current IoT community of researchers and innovators in Europe into an increasingly cohesive, dynamic, participatory and sustainable ecosystem. It assists stakeholders to engage and create value, as well as set up a self-sustaining European IoT commu...

NGIoT is participating in the global ‘Digital Around the World’ event on 20th October with a session presenting the final results of the NGIoT H2020 CSA, in respect to the IoT European landscape, the market perspectives for Europe in times of the digital age, considerations for data protection, as well as Europe’s future direction, as depicted in the ‘NGIoT Roadmap’ for IoT Research Innovation ...

Nowadays, industries face tremendous challenges in the months and years ahead. Complex value chains, highly competitive markets, evolving customer and citizen needs, supply chain disruptions, foreign trade uncertainty, environmental sustainability and social impact, and now the COVID-19 pandemic are common challenges that organisations from every industry, from manufacturing to healthcare, energy, financial services, etc., deal with on a daily basis. 

The evolution of the IoT into the Next-generation IoT will be marked by a series of technological advances which includes contextually aware and distributed intelligence, federated services and microservices, integration of DLTs and smart contracts, and tactile and AR interfaces among others. It is typified by the convergence between the cloud and Edge along the human-cloud computing continuum and is underpinned by the functionalities afforded by 5G networks.&nb...

This session will feature the IoT projects and demonstrate use cases of IoT in the domains of Energy, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Automotive and Small Ports. The session will also feature the results and upcoming opportunities of the projects’ open calls.
