About me
What is the internet of things?
The internet of things defines the potential new services, products and interactions that can exist by embedding cheap hardware and connectivity (web/mobile/radio) in previously unconnected physical products & spaces.

Why now?
We need to think of a connected product as serving the needs of a community, not just an individual.
Our industries need to be held accountable & their processes made transparent.
Our environment needs to be closely monitored & agricultural processes need to become more tech-savvy.
Why you?
The potential hasn’t fully been understood in all industries.
Consumers are starting to get it & invest. Usually through crowdfunding.
The partners are in place and ready (design, manufacturing, incubators, accelerators, supply chain)
