Periodic Reporting for period 2 - EU-IoT (The European IoT HUb - Growing a sustainable and comprehensive ecosystem for Next Generation Internet of Things)
Período documentado: 2022-04-01 hasta 2023-03-31
EU-IoT contributed to strengthen Europe's role in the development and adoption of trustworthy, sustainable, safe and secure IoT that benefits our economies, societies and industry. EU-IoT contributed to establishing a competitive advantage for Europe, by addressing the fragmentation of efforts thanks to a connected research and innovation community, a shared R&I roadmap, broad outreach to and involvement of key IoT stakeholders, ensuring the emergence of new disruptive business models, while contributing to future and emerging standards and pre-normative activities.
EU-IoT's goal was to transform the IoT community of researchers and innovators in Europe into an increasingly cohesive and sustainable ecosystem, as an essential part of the NGI. This was done by:
-Ensuring the establishment of an inclusive and sustainable ecosystem for EU-made IoT, to achieve the H2020 goals, while supporting the transition to Horizon Europe and the IoT-relevant focus areas for the DEP.
-Fostering the creation of synergies, liaisons and exchange among all key players in the European landscape, including research, industry, policy makers, and civil society.
-Supporting and coordinating outreach and impact creation activities of upcoming ICT-56 RIAs and in RIAs from other relevant calls involving IoT.
-Paving the way to the development of business models, innovation activities and skills building, lowering the barrier for adoption and development of IoT-empowered solutions.
EU-IoT provided a collaborative framework, including content, tools and processes, to engage all EU researchers, developers, integrators and users. Such collaborative framework contributed to addressing the fragmentation in the field and ground a strong European IoT-empowered economy as core building block of the EU Digital Single Market.
To meet its goal, EU-IoT defined its work in the form of both tangible and intangible results, around the following objectives:
-Obj1: To support the development of synergies and foster strategic coordination among NGIoT projects and related initiatives having as main driver the maximisation of impact and reinforcement in the leadership of EU-made IoT to achieve Horizon 2020 goals while smoothly and effectively transitioning to Horizon Europe.
-Obj2: To ensure the growth of the NGIoT ecosystem by engaging target stakeholders and facilitating participation for newcomers, while fostering collaborations among them and establishing strong liaisons at intra and inter-programme level.
-Obj3: To foster the development of business models, innovation activities and skills building lowering the barrier for adoption and development of IoT-empowered solutions.
-Obj4: To support and coordinate outreach and impact creation activities across the NGIoT ecosystem, by orchestrating communication and dissemination efforts, open calls promotions, events organisation and participation, and contributions to open-source, pre-normative and standardisation initiatives.
