The Internet of Things (IoT) connects the fabric of the world through improved human-machine interactions, enhanced data management and analytics. This is driving smarter, more informed decisions for businesses, industries and governments. The Boston Consulting Group expects this field to grow at a rate of more than 30 per cent per year, which means unprecedented employment demand for qualified specialists.
