Challenge – missing interoperability
 Today, we are dealing with many heterogeneous, vertically oriented IoT platforms.
 Thus, the development of cross-platform and cross-domain applications is tedious and expensive.
 Additionally, it leads to high market entry barriers for small innovative business.
 As a result of this, no vibrant IoT ecosystem exists.

Our approach
BIG IoT API
MarketplaceApplication Service
 BIG IoT API to provide and consume IoT resources from different platforms in an unify way
 Marketplace to share, discover and monetize IoT resources (data and services)
 Tool for easy development of new, cross- platform services and applications
