A classic episode of South Park called "Gnomes" sets the economic view of the world for IoT that many of us have experienced with connected products.

Phase 1: Connect Product

Phase 2: ?

Phase 3: Profit!

When companies are asked, what is the question mark in phase 2 and how they get from connecting their products to profits, there is often no clear answer.

In this session we will explore how the economic view of the Underpants Gnomes from South Park can be applied to the current state of IoT data value. Starting with collecting data in Phase 1, we will work through go to market in Phase 2 and how data utilization leads to the much sought after reward of profit in Phase 3.

Enjoy crude cartoon humor applied to real world technology business struggles to teach an important lesson in the art of economics.

Leading the Wisconsin

Connectivity Initiatives 

What We Believe

We believe Wisconsin holds a unique position to lead the advancement of emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT).

With a rich history in manufacturing, software, retail, and healthcare, our state possesses the expertise, experience, and forward-thinking mindset required to shape the future of connected technology. For Wisconsin to thrive in this era of rapid technological transformation, we must foster innovation and collaboration among businesses as they explore and develop enhancements in their products and operations. By leveraging our shared strengths and nurturing local talent and enterprises, we can ensure that pioneering solutions are not only envisioned here but also realized and built within our state.
