"Connecting objects and devices through the Internet of Things (IoT) can help solve the greatest challenges of our time, from cutting emissions to feeding a growing population," believes Alicia Asín, CEO and co-founder of Spanish technology company Libelium which makes IoT hardware. Asín was the second-place winner of the 2018 EU Prize for Women Innovators.

Judy Curtis / SIPR's insight:

How do you think IoT is changing cities and society?

‘The IoT is creating a data culture by introducing the concept of measure, think, and then make a decision. If you’re the mayor of a city and decide to implement a congestion charge or restrict access to diesel vehicles but you cannot demonstrate the levels of pollution, citizens will think the decision came down to political or ideological reasons. But if you can back up the decision with data, then that’s working towards more transparency.’ - Alicia Asin, CEO & co-founder, Libelium

Eight IoT Adoption Insights from Experts from Sensors Expo

Eight IoT Adoption Insights from Experts from Sensors Expo | Smart Cities & The Internet of Things (IoT) | Scoop.it
At Sensors Expo in San Jose, two panels of experts reflected on the current state of IoT adoption and provided advice on how to overcome common challenges.
Judy Curtis / SIPR's insight:

One challenge is that many companies deploying IoT PoCs give short shrift to security until they are focused on rolling it out to the production scale.  Nevertheless, interest in IoT cybersecurity is building given a growing number of hacks with an IoT component. But addressing the problem isn’t easy. 

Like IoT itself, there are few one-size-fits-all solutions when it comes to IoT security.
