The Start-up Zone

40-plus IoT & electronics start-ups who exhibited at the show received overwhelming response from the visitors. One of the key motivators for the startups were to connect with like-minded channel partners and system integrators and expand their scale of their business. The IoT Business Forum played an important role here.

IoT Business Forum

“Enabling partnerships within the IoT eco-system”, was the mission of this unique initiative. We enabled 100-plus face-to-face meetings between large integrators and creators of IoT solutions, to enable them to forge partnerships and build a stronger IoT eco-system.

While most of our conferences were for techies, this was one for the CXOs. It witnessed participation of the who’s who of India’s IoT industry, either as speakers or as the audience. This half-day conference brought forth opportunities for India Inc to become a leader in the global IoT landscape and outlined simple steps that we need to take to build our eco-system to encash these opportunities.
