Don't miss out on the next edition of Pioneers Festival:

The Internet of Things represents a major departure in the history of the internet. The numbers forecasted are truly mind-boggling. The next generation of devices will take the internet beyond handsets and tablets, it will connect the physical world to the internet. By 2020, 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet. The IoT space defines one of the biggest opportunities for entrepreneurs to have an impact. Cisco is one of the most active players in the space of IoT and has defined the term IoE for themselves. IoE or the Internet of Everything is the networked connection of people, process, data and things. The potential is enormous and one who knows all about it is Hilton Romanski, Senior Vice President Corporate Development of Cisco. He is managing over $2bn. venture capital investment portfolio for Cisco and has been responsible for nearly $20bn. in acquisitions across 40 deals.
