The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI), launched by the European Commission in March 2015, aims to foster a vibrant IoT ecosystem in Europe by bridging gaps across various industrial verticals and supporting policy dialogue. The alliance focuses on creating a sustainable IoT landscape through cooperation, knowledge sharing, and addressing challenges like standardization and market obstacles. AIOTI envisions Europe leading the global IoT industry, driving economic growth, and enhancing societal well-being through innovative and collaborative IoT deployment.

 The Internet of Things is the next digital revolution
 IoT, Industrial IoT, Internet of Everything
 Everything Connected = Convergence + Physical + Digital + Cyber
 IoT + Cloud Computing + Smart Data + Real Time Smart Analytics
 Cyber-physical Systems - Robotics - Augmented Reality
 Smart products and services – Smart Environments
 The Internet of Things is not just 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-systems…)
 But there is a big risk of fragmentation and delay in front of international
competition

ALLIANCE FOR INTERNET OF THINGS INNOVATION
 Europe will have the most dynamic, agile IoT ecosystem and industry in the
world which transforms people’s lives, drives growth, creates employment
and addresses societal challenges.
 Today we agree, in partnership with the European Commission, that
collaborative and innovation driven activities are necessary in order to drive
a successful take-up of the Internet of Things.
 By understanding the potential of connected things, their intelligence and
smart data, we all support the creation of an IoT ecosystem, which supports
openness, value creation, scalability, sustainability and co-existence.
 Core principles are to cooperate and share knowledge with existing and new
partners of all sizes along value chains, to adopt agile approaches and to
search flexible agreements for convergence, interoperability and
standardisation.
 Through common reference models and IoT Large Scale Pilot activities we
aim to bring IoT forward and to stimulate service creation, acceptance and
take-up from the user and creator perspectives.

AIOTI Motivation - Why AIOTI?
 AIOTI launched by the European Commission (EC) in March 2015 to create a
vibrant IoT ecosystem in Europe, and aims notably at breaking
silos between leading vertical IoT application areas.
 AIOTI will be an important tool for supporting the policy and dialogue within
the IoT ecosystems and with the EC.
 AIOTI builds on the work of the IoT European Research Cluster (IERC) and
expands activities towards innovation within and across industries.
 AIOTI offers an opportunity to discuss legal obstacles to further IoT take up,
and to forge consensus.
 The Alliance helps the Commission prepare future IoT research and
innovation, standardization and policy programmes.
