IoT != Connected gadgets
• The Internet of Things is not solely about consumer-facing objects
• Smartwatches, fitness trackers, connected fridges, … are just the tip of the iceberg
• Kickstarter-sexy projects are not the only way
So what ?• Think about industrial, B2B applications
• Logistics, asset tracking
• Agriculture
• Industry: monitoring, predictive maintenance
• Smart cities, healthcare, …
• Fun/provocative/stupid .. this is a hackathon, right ?
