An important platform showcasing the latest achievements of China’s Internet of Things (IoT), the 2018 World Internet of Things Expo, was held in Wuxi from 15 to 18 September, with the theme: “Digital for a New Economy, loT for a New Age”.

More than 30 academics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Engineering, together with a number of foreign academics, as well as representatives from 35 Top 500 companies and more than 3,000 attendees took part in the expo, which had the goal of building a platform on which international IoT companies can communicate and collaborate. Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, China Telecom, Huawei, Baidu and more than 500 other companies displayed their innovative IoT technology and products.

The Expo includes a wide range of topics that relate to the loT, such as intelligent manufacturing and transportation, AI, big-data innovation, and security of loT information.

On account of its sensor system research and the accumulated technologies of the integrated circuit industry, Wuxi was designated as the location for the “Experience China” centre in 2009. In 2017, the city’s industrial operating income from IoT was ¥243.7 billion.

As an example of IoT technology, Hongshan IoT town has adopted an intelligent solar dustbin, which can open a door and start deodorization automatically when it receives garbage. Overall, Wuxi has implemented over 300 IoT application-demonstration projects, including 21 nationwide.

Zhou Wendong, the Director of the Wuxi Commission of Economy and Information Technology, said that the IoT has become a new pillar of Wuxi’s economic development. In the future, it will continue to drive the innovation of key technologies and business models.
