The summit features top companies, agencies,and thinkers supporting the global M2M and IoT communities, “with contributions from all of the main stakeholders at both an industry and policy level from the US and beyond.” The IoT Summit “will take a comprehensive look at the latest technologies and innovations in the field of The Internet of Things.” ioBridge is proud to announce that we are one of the sponsors and information contributors.
Our very own Hans Scharler will be joining the Financing the Internet of Things session:
Access to both public and private funding is essential for smaller companies and start-ups as they look to commercialise innovative IoT products and bring them to market. The Internet of Things and Machine-to-Machine Communications are recognised by many global investors as key drivers for economic growth and major tools for enhancing overall competitiveness. North America is seen by many as the leading region to secure investment for emerging technologies, but in the current economic climate, competition for funding is often fierce, and companies seeking investments in the region and beyond are finding it increasingly difficult.
The “Financing the Internet of Things” panel is moderated by Stephen Fleming, Executive Director of the Enterprise Innovation Institute, Georgia Institute of Technology and includes the following panelists:
- Alicia Asín, Co-Founder and CEO, Libelium
- Julia Spicer, Executive Director, Mid-Atlantic Venture Association
- Hans Scharler, Co-Founder, ioBridge
- Chris Rezendes, President, INEX Advisors LLC
- Joshua Mandell, Senior Adviser for Innovation and Competitiveness, U.S. Department of Commerce
