International IoT Forum

Dear colleagues,

If you are involved with developments for the future Internet, if you're interested in ethical and societal issues linked to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies or if you have innovative ideas and business models that could support this development, you might be interested in joining the IoT International Forum community.

You will be aware of the emergence of M2M (Machine2Machine), WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Near Field Communication (NFC) technologies, and concepts such as Ambient Intelligence and Pervasive Computing, all of which come under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is an essential enabler for many of the emerging business opportunities we see around us today in Smart Cities, Smart Grid, Intelligent Transport, eHealth,...

Keeping up to date with developments in IoT can be time consuming as there is no focal point for IoT matters. However, help is at hand - the IoT Forum aims to keep the community informed about advances in IoT technology, standardisation, regulation, business/economic matters, societal issues and governance.

You choose the degree of community involvement that is right for you, by

browsing the IoT-i website: http://www.iot-i.eu
participating in the new IoT International Forum by joining one of our e-mail lists, or
attending the twice yearly Forum meetings.

Try it and benefit from the knowledge sharing and enthusiasm of others who are keen to see IoT develop across the globe.

See what has been achieved so far - with your participation, even more can be done.

read the IoT Comic, a great introduction to what is possible with the IoT (read it online at http://www.e-pages.dk/alexandra/10/)
see the presentations from IoT experts at the 1st International IoT Forum ( http://iot-forum.eu/events/launch-event/programme)
watch Internet of Things Europe - The Movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDBup8KLEtk)

To get involved, have a look at our website (http://iot-forum.eu/) and register your interest at http://iot-forum.eu/get-involved. We will keep you informed of exciting developments in the world of IoT.

Regards,

Dr Srdjan Krco
