I have written an article regarding “Top Jobs in IOT Value Chain” in March 2017 and predicted the IoT developers will on demand within 2-3 years time frame. However, in order develop this new skills, we believed that it should start with proper training in the Universities. Thus, within less than 3 months we have made a partnership with 15 Universities (including 1 from Singapore) (Note: All the names will be disclosed later) whereby FAVORIOT will be providing the IoT platform for the following purpose:

1. Hands-on Lab for students
2. Final Year Projects
3. R&D projects for the students and lecturers
4. Beta trial – within and outside the University

We hoped this initiative will spur the interests in IoT and also groom the next Generation-IoT.

Are you ready to become Generation-IoT?

Organizations shouldn’t rush into IoT without a proper understanding of its benefits, business implications and the need for digital transformation. The simplest way to start is to get a Subject Matter Expert in IoT to advise how to start. It’s a long journey and every journey starts with a simple step.

“That’s a lot of churning and creative destruction, and it’s probably safe to say that almost all of today’s Fortune 500 companies will be replaced by new companies in new industries over the next 59 years” [Source: Mark J. Perry]

If today’s businesses don’t transform, they will face the same fate as the Fortune 500 companies.
