IoT is still a vague buzzword for many people. In this session we will discuss the business value of IoT that goes far beyond the general public's perception that IoT is all about wearables and home consumer services. The presentation will also discuss how IoT is perceived by investors and how venture capitalist access this space. Other topics to discuss are barriers to success, what is new, what is old, and what the future may hold.

Investors Perspectives: Searching for that Killer App
“The killer app that wired the world ready for appliances was the light bulb. So
the light bulb is what wired the world. And they weren’t thinking about
appliances when they wired the world.” Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon.com)

“For the resident, for the visitor, the biggest selling
point is that you can sit down and charge your
phone,” Carter says, but for the city the priorities are
better environmental analysis and a better
experience in city parks. On the latter issue,
Changing Environment’s original prototype was too
small to encourage users to congregate. So in a 2.0
version, “There’s a charging station in between you
and you’re forced to sit next to each other,” Carter
says.
Carter foresees a 3.0 version of the bench that relays
information about good news (like farmers’ markets)
and bad news (like inclement weather) nearby.

“It’s improved the efficiency to the point that ‘green’
receptacles (no more than 1/5 full) are emptied half
as frequently.” says Gabrielle Farrell, spokesperson
for the City of Boston. “Specifically, ‘Yellow’ or ‘Red’
receptacles (more than 3/5 full) are emptied 1.75
times weekly versus 3.5 times weekly one year ago.”
That’s half the labor.

32. In the oil and gas industry, the next phase of exploration and development could
rely on extensive sensor networks placed in the earth’s crust to produce more
accurate readings of the location, structure, and dimensions of potential fields
than current data-driven methods allow.
The payoff: lower development costs and improved oil flows.
