Boosting Regional Digital Innovation Ecosystems – IoT is here
19 May 2015
The Internet of Things is not the future. The Internet of Things is here, today. But are industry, policy
makers, and academia ready?
….
Businesses across the world – high tech and traditional – are racing to identify opportunities in the new
digital innovation ecosystem to take-up and deploy high impact technologies, build new business
models, revolutionise value chains, and provide innovative products and services for citizens, businesses
and government. Policy makers are designing smart specialisation initiatives that engage the actors of
regional digital innovation ecosystems and lead to efficient academy-industry cooperation contributing
to growth and global competitiveness.
The eDIGIREGION International Conference is an annual event supported by the European Commission
that presents novel approaches of businesses and policy makers to reap the benefits of the digital
innovation ecosystems. The eDIGIREGION International Conference exchanges experience on smart
specialisation initiatives, and business models that have contributed to boosting regional innovation
ecosystems based on advances in information and communication technologies.
The eDIGIREGION 2015 International Conference will be the first event in this series, and will take place
in Budapest, Hungary on 19th May 2015. In 2015 the conference focuses on future internet and internet
of things technologies and applications.
