IOT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC), the world's leading event on industry transformation through the use of disruptive technologies, will showcase the latest advances and trends in this field.
From May 21 to 23, Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via venue will host more than 400 exhibitors and 250 experts and will become the epicenter of the modernization of the manufacturing sector.
The eighth edition of the show has structured the 125 presentations in its program around four major challenges: Technology-enabled transformation, Climate Change and Sustainability, Regulations and Standards, and Security and Cybersecurity. The conferences will delve into how these challenges can find solutions in IoT (Internet of Things), Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, Edge Computing, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 5G connectivity, Renewable Energy, Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics and Process Robotics.
The conferences, curated by the International Society for Automation (ISA), include leading experts such as Elisa Rönkä, global director of SaaS Sales for Digital Buildings at Siemens; Lucy Han, executive vice president of Home and Construction Automation Solutions at ABB; Megan Samford, director of product security at Schneider Electric; Madhu Pai, technical director of Global Partner Manufacturing at Amazon Web Services; Soloman Almadi, senior engineering consultant at Saudi Aramco; or Didem Ün Ates; Operational Advisor at Artificial Intelligence at Goldman Sachs.
The director of the IOTSWC, Marc Tarragó, stated that “our event brings together the entire technological ecosystem at a global level so that the industry can harness the power of technology in order to overcome its greatest challenges”.
Leading manufacturing companies
The exhibition area will feature more than 400 leading companies in the field of transformative solutions such as ABB, Digicet, Emnify, Faircom, KNX, IoT squared, ST Microelectronics and Txone. The IOTSWC offer is completed with a specific area for the semiconductor sector, a Testbed Zone, a Startup Pavilion, the Women and Diversity in Industry and the Garden space, the networking environment of the show.
The event has been designed based on sustainability and circularity criteria, using recycled and reusable materials.
According to data from Statista, the Internet of Things is on a steady upward trend, with 16.7 billion connected devices worldwide in 2023 and 19.2 billion expected in 2024.
IOTSWC 2024 will be held together with the fourth edition of the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress, an annual event co-organized with the Government of Catalonia whose main objective is to spread the culture of cybersecurity to all industries.
