AIOTI – The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation
The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) was initiated by the European Commission in 2015 in order to develop and support the dialogue and interaction among the Internet of Things (IoT) various players in Europe. The overall goal of this European Commission’s initiative was the creation of a dynamic European IoT ecosystem to unleash the potentials of the IoT. This ecosystem, built on the work of the IoT Research Cluster (IERC), seeks to spill over innovation across industries and business sectors of IoT transforming ideas into solutions and business models. Other objectives of the Alliance include: fostering experimentation, replication, and deployment of IoT and supporting convergence and interoperability of IoT standards; gathering evidence on market obstacles for IoT deployment; and mapping and bridging global, EU, and member states’ IoT innovation activities.
