Presentation
Emerging Use Cases and Market Structure in Industrial IoT
The COVID-19 Pandemic has accelerated change. Some of the emerging themes that the World Economic Forum has identified for Industrial IoT include:
- Shifting priority from efficiency to resiliency across industrial value chains
- Growing acceptance of “stakeholder capitalism” as businesses recognize they are increasingly expected by the public to help battle society’s collective challenges
- Rapidly changing social attitudes towards technology as more of us work remotely and rely on technology to keep us safe
I will share case studies to illustrate the above themes and discuss the implication on demand, emerging use cases and market structure in IIoT.
