When the tech and mobile industries gather at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, we can expect the Internet of Things (IoT) to take centre-stage. From how it can be used to define competitive advantage to creating new opportunities for commerce, how to harness IoT will be front of mind.

The BLN (Business Leaders Network), organisers of events on technology and entrepreneurship, announce the dates for the next Internet of Things Forum in Cambridge on 15-16 March 2017. The event has been voted in the top three IoT events worldwide, and has sold out every year.

Industry association GlobalPlatform has released its Consumer-Centric Model Configuration. This framework enables consumers to have ultimate control over which secure applications they want to use from the Secure Elements (SE) housed within their trusted devices.

If you were at some of the conferences I attended recently, you couldn’t help but get hyped around the hype of IoT. Customers lined up session after session to speak about how their business had transformed and tried to convince others that the future is now.
