SMART BUSINESSES KNOW THAT QUALITY MATTERS KEYNOTE This year our Forum plays host to a powerful lineup of IoT and technology heavyweights, as they provide insight and inquiry into IoT’s technological paradigm shift for vendors, businesses, governments and citizens.

BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION How can IoT help businesses do business differently and better?

We examine how businesses can transform themselves by processing data into insights and creating new services and marketplaces. We hear from thought leaders, and organisations that are already successfully deploying IoT to transform their businesses, and we explore the potential for sector-wide disruption.

SECURITY OF THINGS As IoT transforms and disrupts industries, cities and entire sectors, threats are evolving rapidly to target these data-rich, highly complex and often vulnerable new ecosystems. We hear from leading experts who are rising to the constant challenge of keeping threats at bay, reassuring end-users, and ensuring that IoT continues to deliver the benefits of its deployment.

INNOVATE LAUNCHPAD

URBAN IOT SHOWCASE

Our dedicated IoT start-up zone is a hub for discovery and collaboration, connecting up-and-coming companies with senior INNOVATE decision makers from LAUNCHPAD enterprise, the public sector and service providers, plus leading investor groups.

With urban spaces at the heart of IoT’s evolution, this important stream delivers technological, regulatory and commercial insight, and URBAN IoT SHOWCASE enable collaborations and business opportunities.

A line-up of city managers, business experts and academics aim to bridge the knowledge gap between complex technological innovation and the delivery of practical commercially viable services across smart mobility, utilities, building technology, connected homes, health and wellbeing, and much more.

INDUSTRY 4.0 Our speakers assess the rise of the truly digital industrial company, one that not only produces assets, but also delivers outcomes from those assets. Leaders from corporations and technology solution providers reveal how they capture new growth: by increasing production and creating new hybrid business models, exploiting intelligent technologies to fuel innovation, and transforming their workforce.

FROM BIG DATA TO SMART DATA Big data and analytics are at the very heart of adoption of IoT, yet many firms are still not in a position to use data effectively.

In this stream, global thought leaders and practitioners reveal the how, what and why of big data and analytics; in particular, how to identify the real value and use it to create new business models to enhance competitiveness, cost efficiency and quality of service.

SMART CONNECTIVITY AND DEVICE MANAGEMENT What shape will IoT networks take in the future?

From experts in solution frameworks, to standards developers and network operators, we examine the topology of IoT networks, the range of connectivity providers, and the business models that will help us move towards the ultimate goal of total connectivity; everywhere, to everyone and through every device.

SMART PLATFORMS Bringing together many of the topics considered in other technical streams, this stream aims to define the current roadmaps for developing or deploying robust, reliable and scalable platforms.

A host of expert technologists examine the different types, commercial models and approaches for IoT platforms.
