Comments Dr. Rishi Bhatnagar, chairman of the IET India IoT Panel, “The IoT India Congress is a neutral platform that extends beyond the borders of organisations for people to come together and create the roadmap for IoT adoption. We wish to replicate the success seen at the Congress last year by identifying and recognising exciting work done in the field of IoT by start-ups and individuals through these awards. These are exciting times and we look forward to seeing some great nominations.”

IoT India Congress 2017 is a two-day mega event on the Internet of Things that will be held on September 14-15, 2017 in Bengaluru. Beyond cutting edge knowledge sharing, this is the only platform that can readily impact businesses / revenues especially for those industries / user communities which were hitherto excluded from IoT including Diary, Gems and Jewellery, Auto ancillaries, Auto service dealers, Electronics, Agriculture traders among others. It aims to act as a catalyst and bring together end-to-end ecosystem of the Internet of Things – beginning from chip manufacturers, gateway providers, telecom operators, solution partners and platform companies to work with each other and speed the IoT movement in India. The platform achieves this through CEO meets, product and solutions discovery for SMEs, funding opportunities and mentorships for start-ups and academic projects, idea discovery avenues for VCs and incubators and policy inputs for government agencies. This year’s Congress will focus on Healthcare, Manufacturing, Smart Living, Telecom, Ganga Rejuvenation, Interoperability Standards and Regulations for IoT and New technologies in IoT.
