Nice, French Riviera, March 21, 2013 – The new event dedicated to the most innovative M2M applications has been successfully launched!

Targeting the “Internet of Things” market
Focusing on applications rather than technologies, the conference will address indeed a fabulous market. Today over 100 million sensors, vending machines, smart meters and many other connected devices are communicating automatically. By 2020, this figure is estimated to reach 50 billion! On the way to this real “Internet of things”, M2M implementations in public and private sectors already shows clear benefits such as reduced operational expenses, improved service quality, competitive edge, better informed decision-making, new sources of revenues, etc. These innovative M2M services will be assessed and discussed during 2.5 days at the conference.
