During the IoT Week 2018 (4-8 June) held in Bilbao, CREATE-IoT, in cooperation with the IoT Large-Scale Pilot (LSP) projects and U4IoT, realized 22 interviews with representatives from the LSPs and relevant stakeholders (including SMEs, start-ups, innovators, IoT business users, industry associations, and policy makers). The aim of the interviews was to collect insights into IoT stories and innovative business ideas from their experience in the fields of agriculture, healthy and active ageing, automated and connected driving, wearables, and smart cities. Special relevance was given to the discussion of IoT benefits and challenges, with a particular focus on users, as well as of the status of European competitiveness in the IoT domain.
IoT Large-Scale Pilots Video Interviews:
Representatives from the LSPs shared their experiences and success stories by providing concrete examples from their use cases/pilots in the fields of agriculture (IoF2020), healthy and active ageing (ACTIVAGE), automated and connected driving (AUTOPILOT), wearables (MONICA), and smart cities (SynchroniCity). Furthermore, SynchroniCity, IoF2020 and ACTIVAGE projects presented the opportunities linked with their open calls and shared useful information for potential applicants.
