Reinforcing Infrastructure: IoT as a Catalyst for Resilience in Times of Uncertainty

About this event

REINFORCING INFRASTRUCTURE: IOT AS A CATALYST FOR RESILIENCE IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY


The Covid-19 pandemic represents a tipping point where the rules of business and social interaction are shifting into a digitally enabled future. Decision makers are in the unique position of creating a digital, IoT driven bridge to the “New Normal” and shaping infrastructure and business models across different verticals.


As Covid-19 is putting the global economy into a tailspin, global value-chains show how interlinked businesses are today. Building trust not only in physical spaces but also for customers, employees and within the ecosystem is key. This session will outline with concrete customer cases how executives can take proactive steps in their IoT strategy by using data analytics and other digital tools to strengthen business resilience, customer relationships, technology systems and operations.

Our lively panel of experts will explore:

  • how smart workplaces support business continuity
  • how cyber-physical systems integrate horizontal and vertical mobility concepts
  • how the built environment supports manufacturing in times of uncertainty


Is a set of webinars hosted by the IOTSWC and the IIC to be held during 2020 and 2021 where IOT, AI and machine learning experts will discuss the digital transformation and the coming future after the COVID-19 pandemic. Check out our webinar programming.
