Session 2:“Accelerating IoT in the US: To ensure IoT’s future, where should Federal government resources and investments be directed?”

• Benson Chan and Gordon Feller

The webinar presenters are a team of IoT experts who received a grant from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology to conduct a unique IoT research study. The focus is on identifying IoT infrastructure gaps across ten industries; assessing and quantifying the macroeconomic benefits of closing those gaps; and recommending to the Federal government where to direct initiatives (research investments and other resources) over the next five to ten years. 

Summary: The Internet of Things promises to bring transformational change to numerous industries. Today’s use cases and successes are merely the tip of the iceberg. However, there are a number of technology infrastructure challenges that must be overcome in order to realize IoT’s potential, and ultimately, the full benefits.  This interactive webinar will present findings and learnings to date. There are IoT infrastructure gaps which, once filled, would result in greater adoption of IoT, and which would accelerate the use of IoT within the US. Which of these IoT infrastructure gaps are needing to be filled with the greatest level of urgency?
