IoT in Berlin: Berlin Innovation Meetup @ Recruit Technologies Tokyo

BERLIN INNOVATION MEETUPRecruit TechnologiesTokyo, 29 May 2014

HI. I'M @PETERBIHR.I help companies with their strategy & run conferences about emerging technology.

One conference is about the Internet of Things (IoT): ThingsCon.

Web: thewavingcat.com Mail: peter@thewavingcat.com

1) R&D: WHAT'S NEXT?▸ Watch cutting edge innovators

▸ Analyze the impact of emerging technologies

2) TRANSLATE THE INSIGHTS INTO ACTION▸ Into conferences. Open-ended, future-proofing.

▸ Into consulting, advisory, strategy. Applied, to solve concrete challenges and unlock potential.

WHERE TO LOOK?The most innovative things tend to happen on the fringes:

technologists, startups, researchers, scientists, artists, makers. All of you!

Then, they get amplified through corporations.

Both sides need each other.

TODAY:1. The Internet of Things (IoT)2. Japan & Germany (Berlin)
