Accelerating The IoT

Chairperson’s welcome and opening remarks.

• Prioritising the focus – utilising technologies to offer new services.   
• A new approach to the business through data-guided changes.   
• Adopting Society 5.0 and the new strategies here.

• Real-time decision-making through IoT sensors.
• Contextualising the data correctly – ensuring you are reading and actioning the correct response.

• Key focus when developing – security, privacy, compatibility and connectivity.  
• Ready for market – where to look for investment and funding opportunities. 

• Current building automation capabilities.
• Securing smart infrastructures – what key steps need to be taken to help create a robust cyber strategy?
• What are the current standards and protocols to help create an interoperable infrastructure?
• What new services will arise from AI, ML and 5G optimised infrastructures?

• Edge processing for optimum IoT deployments – how this resolves latency and connectivity barriers.
• The advantages of running on quicker response rates through a de-centralised system.
• Examples of Edge technologies at work.

• Ideas on where to start – what needs to be implemented early on in the process of digitising infrastructures?
