BIG IoT

What is BIG IoT?

BIG IoT (Bridging the Interoperability Gap of the Internet of Things) is a European project that aims to foster integration among a diverse range of IoT (Internet of Things) platforms. The initiative aims to address the fragmentation in the IoT space by developing technologies that enable cross-standard, cross-platform, and cross-domain services and applications.

As part of the larger European IoT Platforms Initiative, BIG IoT seeks to set a precedent for IoT interoperability, thereby propelling a cohesive IoT ecosystem. By doing so, they hope to enhance the scalability, reach, and effectiveness of IoT solutions, ultimately accelerating their adoption across various industry sectors.

Their investment thesis revolves around the recognition of the critical role that interoperable platforms play in unlocking the full potential of IoT by facilitating seamless data exchange and functional compatibility between different IoT devices and systems. They support the standardization of interfaces and advocate for an open IoT ecosystem that is accessible to all stakeholders, from developers to businesses.

Their commitment lies in driving innovation, collaboration, and implementation of IoT solutions that are interoperative on a global scale, thereby addressing some of the major challenges in the current IoT landscape, such as siloed infrastructures and a lack of common standards.
