“Internet of Things”
“Trying to determine the market size of the Internet of Things is like trying to calculate the market for plas9cs, circa 1940. At that 9me, it was difficult to imagine that plas9cs could be in everything.” -‐ Michael Nelson Professor of CommunicaIon, Culture & Technology at Georgetown University
This could be a wearable device that accumulates your fitness stats in an online profile…
Or a system that tracks your herd’s milk producIon over Ime…
Or a complex cloud-‐based pla\orm that collects sensor energy and calculates a building’s energy efficiency…
The IoT is an interac9on between the internet, things… and data
…and if everything is connected by default, the focus turns to creaIng services built on top of the connecIons:
“True IoT products should be mulIpurpose and networked” Florian Michahelles Auto-‐ID labs
“The product enables a bi-‐direc9onal conversa9on between manufacturer and consumer” -‐ Vlad Trifa EVRYTHNG
“If products are traceable all the 9me, then leasing makes more sense than ownership as a business model” -‐ Rob van Kranenburg Internet of Things Council
These interconnected objects will enable new services, business models and value exchange

Key insights for addressing real opportuni9es in the IOT
1. The “Internet of Things” – as an area of new opportuniIes and potenIal – is nascent and needs to be nurtured
2. The IoT is complex because it bridges both the physical and digital worlds
2. The IoT cannot be built by one enIty alone and involves many players from varied disciplines
4. A significant part of the IoT will evolve in a fragmented way and from the boTom-‐up
5. The real value of the IoT will not come from the technology itself, but the services built on top of it and enabled by it
