10th annual global IoT week

IoT Week 2021 will welcome business leaders, leading researchers and public service representatives, not only from Europe but from all over the world, to share their views on how technology can better serve society and identify current technological and societal challenges. In particular, the 10th edition will explore the various areas of IoT that could positively influence sustainable development, and find solutions to combat the Covid19 pandemic.

Previous editions of IoT Week have been held in Barcelona, Venice, Helsinki, London, Lisbon, Belgrade, Geneva, Bilbao and Aarhus. The latest edition brought together over 1,500 participants from 50 countries specializing in the IoT field, including research centers, research projects, major industries, SMEs, developers, standards bodies and political decision-makers, including the European Commission, to exchange knowledge.

This year, due to ongoing travel restrictions and the spread of new variants of COVID-19, IoT Week will take place entirely online. Registration is free!

The next generation of IoT for a sustainable future

IoT Week 2021 will focus on defining the next generation of IoT for a sustainable future. Growing awareness of climate change has led to the popularization of sustainability and the realization that we need to do things differently, and better.
