IoT-EPI Program

• The IoT European Platforms Initiative (IoT-EPI)program includes the research and innovationconsortia that are working together to deliver an IoTextended into a web of platforms for connecteddevices and objects.

• The IoT platforms support smart environments,businesses, services and persons with dynamic andadaptive configuration capabilities.

• The goal is to overcome the fragmentation ofvertically-oriented closed systems, architectures andapplication areas and move towards open systemsand platforms that support multiple applications.

IoT and the Circular Economy

• Holistic product and service development

• Invisible complexity and seamless integration

• Clear value proposition• Engagement with the knowledge ecosystem available via the IoT.• Monitoring and discovery of new products and services unveiled by

interconnectivity, data access, and resultant learning.• Digital IoT ‘cognitive era’ - the emergence of hybrid decision-making

– IoT cognitive systems and the users cooperate to discover things,information, services and synthesise solutions surpassing humandecision-making capabilities for solving complex system problems.

• Redefined collaborative mechanisms between technology andthe framework within which it operates.

• IoT solutions combine innovation, regulation, standardisationcreativity in order to manage the complex questions raised bydata circulation and capture, compatibility of systems andintellectual property.
