IOT involves the interlinking of networks, devices and data that have thus far never been linked. It is the collective power of these formerly disparate elements that lies at the heart of the power of IOT and integrated dynamic ICT ecosystems that can benefit both developed and developing economies.

The primary objective of the IOT Forum is to :

  • Discuss the role IOT plays in relation to converging technologies for building smart sustainable communities with integrated ecosystems.

  • Discuss IOT and development challenges and the paradigm shift in creating a smart world that facilitates sustainable economic development along with a high quality of life.

  • Bring together:

  • stakeholders, managers and engineers working with IOT applications (innovators)
  • service providers planning on delivering IOT solutions, and their financiers (business community)
  • policy and standards creators/enforcers for IOT deployment (policymakers, regulators)
  • other IOT experts from industry, government and academia (legislators)
