Building a commoneu vision for Internet of Things(IoT) Thibaut Kleiner* Head of Unit Network Technologies DG CONNECT European Commission
The Internet of Things is the next digital revolution Everything will be connected= convergence of physical and digital IoT + Cloud Computing + Big Data (+cyberphysical systems and robotics) = new smart products and services We may be approaching another'iphone moment' The Internet of Things is not another technology hype Research cycle is maturing Demand is consolidating Leading to innovation and tremendous economic opportunities Europe has the capacity to lead We have all the ingredients (research, players, eco-system ) But there is a big risk of fragmentation and delay in front of international competition 2
Internet of Things Breakfast time Smart dough for a perfectly baked brioche Smart cup monitoring the temperature of your coffee Fresh flowers due to SMART vase monitoring plants' watering needs Smart plateto calculate the calories you are having for breakfast
Internet of Things- SMART Home
The IoT offers tremendous opportunities Gartner forecasts 26 billion online by 2020; ABI Research puts that number at 30 billion; Cisco estimates about 50 billion... McKinsey forecasts IoT market in 2025 worth 2.5T 6T Many areas start adopting IoT Smart Cities Smart mobility Industrial Internet Smart Home and assisted living Public safety Energy & environment Agriculture Tourism Internet of Things

Stakeholders
Key challenges Remaining technological challenges Security and privacy, connectivity and reliability of data transmission at large scale, semantic interoperability Risk of fragmentation Between siloes, between standards, between MS Users' take up and acceptability Privacy, security, legal framework, user-friendliness Need to move into deployment Uncertainty about business models Uncertainty about standards International competition
ICT-30 (H2020 Call 2, WP 2014-15): IoT and Platforms for Connected Smart Objects (51 MEUR funding) "Createecosystemsof platformsintegratingfuture generationof devices, embeddedsystemsand network technologies for a multiplicity of novel applications" Architectures supporting: Dynamicconfiguration; Integrated smartness and connectivity; Self-organising, autonomous systems; Interoperableuse cases and applications 13
WP16-17: Internet of Thingsas a Focus Area? Opportunityto design IoTas a programme combining research, innovation/experimentation and horizontal actions Building bridges between SCs and LEIT Trying to re-inforce community-building across vertical silos and with industry
IoT Large ScalePilots (LSP) IoT LSP: beyond technology demonstration To meet key challenges: Overcome the fragmentation of vertically oriented closed systems, architectures and application areas in the field of IoT Foster the end-to-end value chain integration of Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud approaches and technologies. Specific features: Make use of advanced ICT Technologies Involve all value-chain actors Address business model validation Address user validation and acceptability Position as close to real-life/market conditions as possible
EC standardisation Strategy A similar exercise to the one pioneered with the Cloud Computing standardisation initiative Co-ordinated by ETSI, with support of the EC Identification of business scenarios and applicable (or needed) standards Mapping Collaboration of multiple "verticals" Focus on cross siloes use cases Applicability/demonstrability of standards in large scale pilots to be implemented under H2020 WP 2016-17 Standards supporting the emergence of IoTplatforms and ecosystems
MS initiatives on IoT Somenational initiatives, ex: DE: Industry 4.0- factory of the future UK: Digital Catapult Centre FR:"Nouvelle France Industrielle"-Objects Connectes FI: IoT cluster of companies Activities linked to smart cities but no consistent approach=> riskof fragmentation and delay
What is still needed to respond to the existing market barriers and unleash the potential of IoT?
A common EU vision
A common EU vision IoT needs a Digital Single Market to strive Eliminating barriers to operate across borders (ex: roaming for connected cars) Economics of scale and scope to lower costs, increase efficiency and enhance innovation Inter-operability and common standards EU-wide IoT innovation eco-systems Common legal framework (trust, copyright, security, privacy, liabilities, ethics, etc.) enhancing EU values
A common EU vision IoT as an enabler for the Digital Single Market Together with Cloud technologies and Big data analytics, IoT provides a digital infrastructure leading into a more connected, more intelligent and more technology-enhanced society, reducing costs, improving productivity and enabling innovation in various economic sectors This can boost growth and employment, and deliver significant economic and societal benefits
