Fröhliche Weihnachten ! or it is too soon? We have an Austrian winter story to share. After the successful participation of the projects from the IoT Large-Scale Pilots (LSP) Programme at the IoT Week in Bilbao, three LSP projects and one Coordination and Support Action will be joining forces again! This time the destination is Vienna and the event is ICT 2018.
What is it about?
During the event, taking place on 4-6 December 2018, IoF2020, ACTIVAGE, SynchroniCity and U4IoT 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, as its name suggests, highlight the European Union (EU)’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.
Who will be there?
The IoT LSP Programme will be represented at the exhibition by four IoT LSP projects, which will share a common stand. Here is what they do in a nutshell:
Why should I go?
In the common booth, the projects will showcase state-of-the-art prototypes and high-tech devices that have already been tested and implemented in real IoT-based environments. The focus is on the interaction, visitors are allowed to see, handle and learn using these devices and tools.
You can also expect to see the latest achievements and solutions from the IoT world deployed in precision farming, smart cities and active & healthy ageing. Furthermore, U4IoT will exhibit a set of tools supporting security and privacy by design IoT. Representatives from projects’ use cases (UCs) will make sure that even the most technical questions coming from the audience are answered.
What else is provided?
U4IoT project will organise a networking session for the Large-Scale Pilots and other event participants during the conference. This session is scheduled for the 5th of December, 09:00 to 09:45, in Hall L6/1 (Room 0.94-0.95), and is focused on IoT adoption barriers in IoT large-scale pilots (LSPs). The aim of this session is to bring together participants from the five LSPs as well as other IoT experts in the field, in order to identify and discuss the main barriers and/or enablers for end-users to adopt and use the IoT solutions in each of the five domains. The ICT 2018 conference and in particular the U4IoT session is an excellent opportunity to meet experts on the topic and further shape your action plans for user-engagement in your project activities.

Last but not least, this gives you one additional reason to visit the world’s music capital where waltz and IoT will meet this winter!
