About IoT Forum
IoT Forum is a member based organization which aims to:
- Promote international dialogue and cooperation on the Internet of Things;
- Organize events and conferences, such as the IoT Week;
- Develop activities and synergies with and among its members.
IoT Forum was established by a community of research organizations and industries specialized in the Internet of Things. The founding members were developing joint activities since several years, including the organizing of the IoT Week and European research projects such as the IoT-i.eu which supported the creation of the IoT Forum as an autonomous legal organisation at the IoT Week 2013 by an international group of founding organisations.
IoT Forum is a non – profit member – based organisation, open to all actors from all parts of the world. It is hosted in Geneva, Switzerland by one of its founding members, Mandat International.
The Articles of Association are available here.
