IEEE 6th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT 2020)

Entrepreneurship and Innovation have become two highly searched for words on Google. Every country, region, city, and university have established entities that promote the growth of Start-Ups that they hope will create new industries and jobs. Every company in the world has people focused on what they can do next to grow their business. The IEEE has established a Board Level committee that is promoting Entrepreneurship and the development of resources for its members that want to create opportunities within their own company or take the risk and create a Start-Up venture.

This Workshop will detail the process for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, resources, and how the Internet of Things is the foundation for the biggest growth of Start-Ups that has ever existed.

The event is intended to inspire, educate, enable and empower researchers, industry professionals, and students who have the ‘Start-Up bug’ in turning their ideas into new products and services but are not sure of how to go about it. You cannot learn everything in one day; however, the participants will become a part of an IEEE led ecosystem that will provide much-needed ongoing support to launch their initiatives while being realistic about their envisioned ideas and products.

If you are an IEEE Member, this Workshop is just the beginning of what we will do together.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Learn about the tools and resources that will help develop ideas, manage goals, find investment, and go to market as a new company.
• Using a Cloud-Based Tool to manage your Start-Up. Learn from the world’s best Cloud Company on their tools, resources, and experience.
• Case Studies of Successful Entrepreneurs. Learn from successful people.
• IEEE Entrepreneurship Network. How to become a part of the growing Network of IEEE professionals that are developing new ideas and industries.
