Alp ICT offers a workshop on the Internet of Things

Join us at 1:15pm to discuss the question "Does the future of my business lie in the IoT?"

The Internet of Things (IoT) is fundamentally changing the daily lives of all industries: automotive, manufacturing, services, agriculture, and more. No industry is immune to what was heralded as a revolution, and is indeed proving to be a revolution, impacting not only products and services, but also business models, processes and, more generally, the way companies operate. With technology now accessible to the greatest number of people, we invite you to share the experiences of entrepreneurs who have used IoT to reinvent themselves and/or their industries: Philippe Menoud, CEO at IEM, Alexandre Luyet (CMO & Co-Founder Kizy Tracking), José Demetrio - CEO & Co-Founder Géosatis.

There are many other exciting workshops to discover: see the detailed program online.
