IoT Week 2019: IoT for Smart Cities and Communities

DITCOM co-organised a two-day track about IoT for Smart Cities and Communities at this year's IoT Week together with Open & Agile Smart Cities, SynchroniCity and Smart City Cluster Denmark

IoT Week provides an opportunity for experts to discuss the latest developments and future visions of the Internet of Things (IoT). With more than 1600 participants from Europe and beyond, this year’s IoT Week in Aarhus was the most successful event since the event was launched in Venice seven years ago.

At IoT Week 2019 DITCOM co-organised the two-day thematic track on IoT for Smart Cities and Communities. The workshop brought together standards experts and smart city practitioners to share best practices, discuss the state of IoT and where it is heading to, as well as the key benefits and challenges of IoT and how to address them. Being at the home ground in Aarhus DITCOM was deeply involved in this year's IoT Week as co-organiser of the Public Expo (read more soon) and representing both SynchroniCity, NGIoT and SCORE at the event. 

Back to the two-day workshop at the main conference: The focus was on discussing the role of IoT for cities & communities. Building on last year's success, the various sessions during the two-day track brought together experts from all over the world and provided room for discussions ranging from privacy in smart cities to the relation between IoT & 5G and the role of the cities. Also, the SynchroniCity partner cities Eindhoven, Antwerp, Bordeaux, and Seongnam demonstrated how they are using and scaling IoT-enabled solutions based on minimal interoperability.

The recordings of the sessions will become available shortly at www.iotweek.org
