The era of the Internet of Things (IoT) is not some remote horizon, it has already begun. IoT will revolutionise how we do business and live our lives, from saving energy to supporting healthcare, providing our entertainment and streamlining the entire industrial supply chain.

This EIF Breakfast will examine technologies’ interaction in a complex IoT framework, explore some of the exciting changes that IoT is already bringing and which are round the corner, and consider the societal challenges and policy implications of these changes for Europe.
