Wrap-up: IoT Think Tank 2020
March 4-5, 2020 in Stockholm, Sweden
How do you overcome the challenges scaling IoT projects? How do you make sense of all the buzz in the market about LTE-M and NB-IoT? And, how are other market leaders thinking in their IoT projects? These topics and much more were explored during Telenor Connexion’s customer event: IoT Think Tank 2020.
The aim of the event was to create an inspiring forum to learn more about the underlying trends shaping IoT from experts, leaders, academics and peers. In addition, the event served as a great opportunity to exchange learnings, gain access to recent research, and make valuable connections.
This was the forth year we’ve hosted the IoT Think Tank. This year we structured the event in a user group format which means we combined overall strategic insights with tangible issues that we know many of our customers have experienced or are experiencing.
The event consisted of shared sessions combined with breakout sessions on various issues. The topics discussed ranged from a comprehensive overview of the latest IoT research, evolving market trends and emerging technologies, along with practical insights from digital innovators.
The host of the event, Martin Whitlock, CTO, Telenor Connexion says “The aim of this year’s Telenor Connexion IoT Think Tank was to provide guidance for our customers’ most relevant challenges. It’s a pleasure to work together with these thought leaders.”
Polestar, Ericsson, Grundfos, Northstream and Sony Networks Communications Europe were among this year’s guest speakers. Take a look at the whole agenda below.
