Startup Wrocław: meetup #8 Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) market is growing by as much as 30 percent annually, which is why experts compare its strength to a tsunami. We will talk about the coming revolution on November 15 during Startup Wrocław: meetup # 8 at Business Link Green2Day (11 Szczytnicka Str.)
Registration for the meetup has already started. It can be made through an oficial website. Admission to the event which will be conducted in English is free of charge.
- The Internet of Things is developing extremely dynamically. Experts estimate that in 2021, out of 28 billion devices connected to the Internet, more than half will be IoT devices. It is therefore worth discussing how this technology is developed by Wrocław startups and mature companies, and how the city itself uses it - says Ewa Kaucz, president of the Wrocław Agglomeration Development Agency, the main organizer of the event.
How IoT is developing in Wrocław
The fact that Wrocław has a lot of young technology companies working on Internet of Things solutions was the finding of last year's "Polish Startups" report prepared by the Startup Poland Foundation. According to the list in Wrocław there are the most in Poland of such companies. In addition, it is in Wrocław that the LoRaWAN network (an extensive narrowband long-range network) is being developed, which can provide data transmission speed in two directions at the level of 0.3 kbps to 50 kbps.
The project is carried out in cooperation with Thaumatec and the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. The President of Thaumatec - Krzysztof Berezowski - will be one of the speakers at the event.
Another speaker will be Aleksandra Sękowska from ProxiGroup - a Wrocław startup that created the ProxiTrack platform. It enables the optimization of logistics processes thanks to the use of RFID technology that collects information, e.g. about the traffic and the path that each consignment passes in the switchboard.
ProxiGroup was among others in the final of the "GammaRebels powered by Poczta Polska" program, it also received a grant in the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument program run by the European Commission.
