Moshe Rappaport to deliver a keynote address at Industry of Things World 2015

Berlin, Germany, May 26, 2015 – Moshe Rappaport’s keynote at Industry of Things World 2015 #IoTClan

Moshe Rappaport is one of the most in demand keynotes when it comes to technology issues in Europe. In his role at IBM Research as the Executive Technology Briefer, he is responsible of presenting how the IT technology future will be likely to evolve and he often challenges his listeners to think about the future confluence of technology, business and society.

In his opening keynote address on September 21, he will talk about the much debated hype around the Internet of Things. Where does the hype end & the opportunities begin?

When we caught up with Moshe for an interview recently, we asked him where does he see IoT and its technologies creating the biggest impact. He believes that the Internet of Things will have a huge impact in health and medicine – both preventive and curative, public safety, travel and transport and, of course, in the consumer space, where it is being fuelled by developments like wearables.

“When I look back a decade or so at the IT industry, that’s when the hype around IoT started. But back then, there were several critical pieces missing to make it a reality. Now, we are finally seeing a lot of the technologies that we have been working on in the industry over the past 20 years, finally come together. These technologies include middleware, analytics and cloud computing combined with the advances in hardware and in the mobile and telecommunications areas. Data is now seen as the new natural resource on which to build new services, markets and business models. Significantly, IoT data will play a key role in this transformation.” says Moshe.

We are looking forward to a no doubt fascinating keynote session at the Industry of Things World 2015. For more information on the session and the full programme, please click here
