WUXI, China, Nov. 12, 2024 — The World Internet of Things Expo opened on November 11, 2024, in Wuxi, China. The event includes an opening ceremony, exhibitions, and five specialized forums, running until the 13th.
The Product and Application Exhibition is divided into two sections, focusing on the key development areas of “Sensor + Vehicle Internet of Things (V2X) + Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).” It showcases the latest technologies and innovations in the IoT and related fields.
Fraunhofer IIS, a German research institution, attended the expo for the first time. Their MIOTY technology, designed for large-scale industrial and commercial IoT deployments, received the Gold Award for New IoT Technologies, Applications, and Models this year.
Ferdinand Kemeth, head of Fraunhofer IIS, expressed his hope to connect with more manufacturing partners for IoT hardware at the WIoT Expo.
The selection of new technologies, applications, and models in IoT is a key event of the World Internet of Things Expo, with a global call for entries each year. This year, 30 winning projects were chosen.
In 2009, Wuxi was designated as a National Sensor Network Innovation Demonstration Zone. Over 15 years, Wuxi has developed a substantial IoT industrial chain worth over 450 billion yuan. Since 2016, the China International IoT (Sensor Network) Expo has been rebranded as the World Internet of Things Expo, becoming the largest and most prominent national-level expo in China’s IoT sector.
“China’s IoT industry began in Wuxi, and as an IoT professional, coming to Wuxi feels like a homecoming,” said Xiao Shanpeng, Director of the IoT Technology and Applications Research Institute at China Mobile Research Institute, at the event.
