Martin Brynskov will give examples on how the last decade of large-scale pilots of Internet of Things (IoT) and data-driven services have evolved our thinking about how to best bridge the gap from research to society. The focus is on building capacity for systematic experimentation, embedded in a trusted ecosystem of buyers, suppliers and regulators. This capacity to facilitate smart communities is central to a future where our societies rely more and more on decentralized and cross-sectorial service provisioning. Actually, like in the old days, with the same arguments: It’s safer, more resilient, and it can be based on local priorities.
