ICT 2018 Vienna
4-6 December 2018 Vienna
ICT 2018 research and innovation event will focus on the European Union’s priorities in the digital transformation of society and industry. It will present an opportunity for the people involved in this transformation to share their experience and vision of Europe in the digital age.
During the event the IoT European Large-Scale Pilots projects will demonstrate their efforts in scaling the uptake of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Europe, improving the life of citizens, and actively protecting their privacy.
ICT 2018 Imagine Digital – Connect Europe will highlight the European Union’s priorities in the digital transformation of society and industry. People who make this transition possible will share their achievements and ideas for the future of mobility, active and healthy ageing, smart farming and the user engagement in smart cities: a view of Europe in the digital age. During the event, all visitors from tech-savvies to digital enthusiasts will have the chance to listen to influential speakers, meet the research community, decision-makers, as well as business representatives, and of course, engage with the innovators behind the EU-funded projects at the special exhibition.
The 2018 edition of this major European networking event will have the following main components:
• A conference on digital research and innovation policies,
• An exhibition of EU-funded research and innovation projects in the field of ICT,
• A series of networking activities,
• An innovation and start-ups village to showcase European entrepreneurship.
The IoT European Large-Scale Pilots will be represented by all projects, which will present their achievements in a common stand presenting the open calls, a common stand with STARTS community and active participation in several networking sessions.
The IoT European Large-Scale Pilots projects that have open calls (ACTIVAGE, IoF2020 and SynchroniCity) will highlight their activities as following:
• ACTIVAGE by describing the building of the first European open IoT ecosystem enabling the deployment of Active and Healthy Ageing solutions and services. It integrates smart devices to analyse older adults’ lifestyle and needs to provide customized solutions, ensuring users’ data privacy and security.
• IoF2020 by presenting the IoT solutions for the agri-food sector allowing to achieve higher production yields in a modern more sustainable and environmentally-responsible fashion.
• SynchroniCity by describing their approach for a global market for human-centered IoT-enabled urban services which are interoperable, replicable and reusable across cities and across domains.
All IoT European Large-Scale Pilots projects (ACTIVAGE, AUTOPILOT, CREATE-IoT, IoF2020, MONICA, SynchroniCity, U4IoT) will be actively participating in ICT2018 activities.
