The IoT Opportunity – Concept to Commercialisation


There is invariably a big jump from designing a prototype device to getting the device commercialised. Sean Laval, Solutions and Innovations Executive at Sqwidnet, joins us at Tshimologong to tackle this issue facing entrepreneurs, aiming to help demystify this process. The goal is to empower entrepreneurs with knowledge that can help them make the correct decisions early on in their projects that will ease this transition, decrease time-to-market, and ultimately improve their chances of securing initial contracts and/or funding.


We will touch on a range of topics regarding the Internet of Things, e.g. long term costs, decision making and how start-ups can get access to IoT platforms.
