The move to the Far Edge will have huge economic potential by leveraging a local, distributed computing infrastructure, and it facilitates the creation of new services and business models, which are much more rooted in verticals around the applications than today’s more general-purpose cloud business models.The session will focus on the economic potential of Edge Computing in the context of the n...

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...

As data becomes the new oil of the economy and a key asset to address societal challenges like mobility, energy, carbon-neutral cities and manufacturing, the EU must strive for a leading position in the data economy and cannot afford to have the data of its businesses, public sector and citizens stored and exploited from largely outside its borders. A strategy for on World-leading Data and Computing Technology is at the heart of the European policy strategy for

Massive growth of devices and systems connected to the Internet raises technology and policy challenges on a new scale. With an ever more heterogeneous and complex environment of IoT, these connected objects generate large data volumes. This massive data feeds the data economy and opens up new business opportunities. Currently, the majority of IoT revenues are based on cloud-based services as a dominant economic model for IoT business models. Will it be the case in the next decade?T...

Introducing data spaces into society makes us designers of a new world exploiting the sharing of data in a totally new way. As designers, we need to know what we are doing, business activities will not be the same as before, business processes will be re-engineered, and new skills are necessary to build data ecosystems. This track will bring together leading initiatives that are paving the way for what could become functional implementations of European-governed data sharing spaces. We want t...

The IoT has the potential to address some of the most acute human, economic and environmental needs. It can also directly contribute to achieving the targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the 7th IoT Week, the IoT research and industry community, together with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and other stakeholders signed the International Declaration on the Internet of Things for Sustainable Development, in which they expressed their support for researching, ...

The expansion of the IoT and edge computing landscape has brought opportunities but also new challenges. Standards have an essential role in the IoT and edge computing systems. Having a roadmap of IoT standardization can enhance the technical issues that have to be addressed and resolved. The role of standardization in interoperability solutions is key, both by allowing a formalised support to various implementations, and by ensuring a consolidation of the options available so that the int...

Disclosing the key role of IoT in the so-called 4.0 revolution and how it is intertwined with other technologies that are going to fundamentally transform our world. We will also discuss about the key role of IoT, Edge IoT andAIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) for theIndustry 5.0 revolution.Pitch Title of Roberto Siagri: “Edge computing, Edge AI and the 5G Cloud matrix”

Tourism is one of the most dynamic industries in the world. And COVID19 has hit it especially hard, not only affecting companies but also the destinations. During this session we will have the opportunity to learn from the European Smart Tourism Capitals 2020-2021 as well as from the European Commission, to see how IoT and data can greatly contribute not only to the recovery of tourism, but to make destinations more competitive and attractive

The Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are heavily interwoven within every-day present life and tomorrow will impact even more. Predicting the next global tendency but need in society is key to IoT development.In a new Post-COVID era, IoT is accelerating and facilitating new trends such as home working, new mobility challenges and the digitalization of the economy. It also becomes more necessary for redesigning the new global supply chain, foster the collaboration and generate ne...

The European Commission is preparing an Action Plan on the Digitalisation of Energy (DoEAP), to be published in autumn 2022. Digitalisation is a prerequisite and allows to the efficient and effective operation of the energy system and energy markets. The data includes metering data, data from consumers such as home appliances, building automation, EV charging stations, or prosumers PV panel & inverters. Its availabilit...

This session focuses on standards related to IoT and Edge computing which enable the integration of data spaces. It will cover the following topics:Data space challengesData space standardisationInteroperable data spacesExample of energy data spacesThe move to the Far Edge will have huge economic potential by leveraging a local, distributed computing infrastructure, and it facilitates the creation of...
