Internet of Things in the Public Sector

Governments around the world are faced with the challenge of doing more with less. This challenge is exacerbated by pressures to keep up with the service expectations of citizens and employees who are more mobile and social than ever, and demand new ways of engagement. Government is expected to be a leader in harnessing new technologies to make smarter policy and public service delivery decisions, while simultaneously and continuously delivering basic services. Now, imagine a world where these needs could be met – a world where all devices are connected, and where everything has the capacity to be intelligently and seamlessly linked to a ubiquitous network optimizing efficiencies, environments and work processes.

The reality is that this scenario already exists.

Cities and Governments from Singapore to Dublin to Barcelona, businesses from start-ups to multi-nationals, and citizens of all ages are already reaping the benefits of the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT). Australia can learn from their experience! The Navigating the Internet of Things Summit 2015 will facilitate discussion and debate around the navigation and management of associated challenges to create the best possible outcome for Australians with IoT.

It is predicted that by the year 2020, there will be 50 billion connected devices. Industry analysis indicates that IoT is poised to generate $4.6 trillion in potential value for the public sector over the next decade, and $14.4 trillion for the private sector over the same period.1

Government service delivery and functionality will be positively disrupted in profound ways, across multiple areas. Service delivery such as transportation and health care, as well as the machinery of government, including administration and resource management all stand to benefit significantly.

AIIA Navigating the Internet of Things Summit 2015

Each year, the AIIA hosts a Navigating Summit, seeking to explore the value that cutting edge technology can bring to Australia and Australian Government Policy and its operation. This series is designed by thought leaders and industry experts to facilitate debate and discussion on key issues relevant to the ICT industry and Government across Australia.

On 26th March 2015, at the National Convention Centre in Canberra, the AIIA will shine a spotlight on IoT. The overall theme of AIIA’s 2015 Summit is transformation – the profound transformative impact of ubiquitous and intelligent ‘connectivity’ on the economy, society, business and government.

Key Segment Themes for 2015:

1. Transforming the Physical Economy and Built Environment
2. Transforming the Delivery of Services
3. Transforming the Economy

Evolving from the format of previous Summits, the 2015 IoT Summit Dinner will include a range of industry and government experts in a hypothetical panel discussion exploring the possibilities, risks and challenges in the world of IoT. In addition to this, the day-time format will no longer include fragmented break-out sections, but will instead aim to give attendees a holistic and comprehensive view of issues surrounding the IoT.

Goals for the 2015 Navigating IoT Summit:

• Explore the opportunities in IoT and the relevance to national growth and productivity objectives – focusing on deliverable outcomes for Australians
• Improving the business and service delivery of Government by exploring the relevance of IoT – focusing on operations and service delivery
• Increasing Australia’s national competitiveness in the global economy by identifying potential challenges and barriers to optimising IoT – focusing on Government policy implications

The proliferation of the IoT will create an unprecedented impact in social, economic and political arenas. The time is now for Australia to lead the way and forge a path in the digital technology revolution that is the Internet of Things.

Whether you are in Government or industry, the 2015 Navigating the Internet of Things Summit will give you the opportunity to meet, mingle, and explore new frontiers of technological development with industry experts, thought leaders, and change makers in Australian society.

The only question is – who and what will be next? The value that IoT can deliver is breaking new ground and shaping a new future for us all. The nature of this future is only limited by our collective imagination and determination.

Seize this unique opportunity to play your part in determining how Australia can leverage the available and emerging technology to achieve the greatest possible benefit for businesses, citizens, and Governments world-wide.
