Forum on Internet of Things: Empowering the New Urban Agenda

A forum on Internet of Things: Empowering the New Urban Agenda took place on 19 October 2015 and was attended by over 200 participants. This forum discussed, inter alia, the role that Internet of Things (IoT) plays in relation to converging technologies for building smart sustainable cities with integrated ecosystems.

This forum brought together smart city stakeholders, managers and engineers working with IoT applications, service providers planning on delivering IoT solutions, and policy and standards makers. It assembled IoT experts from industry, government and academia.
