Value co-creation - The value co-creation framework is elaborated in deliverable D01.03 - Activities Fostering Value Co-creation: Interim Report to IoT platforms ecosystems implementing various IoT use cases and applications. The IoT business models framework is presented in deliverable D02.01 - IoT Business Models Framework, focusing on co-creators of value, moving from value chains to value networks, evolving from product value to network value, building new concepts of complex co-opetition, and providing strategy in relation to the entire value IoT ecosystem.
IoT Business Models - UNIFY-IoT surveyed and analysed several existing potential business models related to IoT: from specific deployment in case of process optimisation in different organisations, and produced a framework and a taxonomy of business models. The IoT business models concepts and framework is presented in deliverable D02.01 - IoT Business Models Framework that covers the identification and analysis of the logic of an IoT ecosystem (form by several companies), or an individual company, the way it operates and how it creates value for its stakeholders.
Innovation Support - UNIFY-IoT analysed existing IoT platforms on the global market and the deliverable D03.01 - Report on IoT platform activities provides an analysis that offers a comprehensive overview of all aspects of platform activity, from elements like communication capabilities, to the availability and quality of documentation, the ease of use of APIs, SDK environments and the use of innovation support events to engage with platform adopters and potential platform adopters. Delivery D03.02 - Analysis on IoT Platforms Adoption Activities, introduced an IoT platforms ecosystems maturity evaluation framework to act as a self-assessment tool for an IoT platforms ecosystem and its adoption readiness.
Education platform - The open education platform activities are coordinated with the task force on educational platforms with the aim to foster a comprehensive and converging European education offer on IoT and provide a user-tailored education on-line offer that address the needs of IoT stakeholders including students, researchers, developers, start-ups, SMEs and large companies. The activities identified and addressed two main pillars: IoT "hard skills" related to specific domains and IoT "soft skills" (e.g. business models, regulation, etc.).
Open platforms - The project builds upon the open platforms , activity chain started by the IERC and combines it with other initiative documenting project outcomes in collaboration with the Be-IoT and link it to www.iot-epi.eu portal. UNIFY-IoT project fosters connections between the IoT-EPI projects, the IoT community as a vehicle for project exploitation and link with application development. UNIFY-IoT uses the open platform concept developed as a specific vehicle for mapping the IoT ecosystems. The
Standardisation activities - Identification of standardisation strategies and reference IoT use cases that effectively enable (semantic) IoT interoperability, security, privacy, anonymity and confidentiality in IoT systems and platforms. UNIFY-IoT has interacted with relevant standardisation bodies including ETSI and CEN/CENELEC to systematise standard de facto emerging from the IoT-EPI projects.
