Christopher Badaoui, Founder at NY Frontier Tech said
The opportunities in IoT are limitless when technologies are sold to large corporations. Cost savings, data collection and analytics are the tools that will help us reshape the way the world works. I look forward to coming to India once again.
Showcasing some of the best technologies including video analytics, telecommunications, smart lighting, security, systems integration, M2M solutions, data science, cloud services, applications development and more under one roof, the IoT India 2017 expo will bring together leaders in the industry.
Badaoui, who is of British and Lebanese descent, has been in the industrial scene from the age of 16. Coming from a paint manufacturing background, and with a passion for tech, he has seen first hand how innovation is key for creating a more powerful infrastructure for the future.
Previously, he was responsible for business development at Forge, an on-demand platform for hourly labor. He has a background in growth and facilitating business development for startups and Fortune 500 companies.
He believes investing in IoT brings incredible opportunity, as well as incredible responsibility to all stakeholders. As consumers’ devices, homes, cars, cities, organisations, and lives become more and more connected, the safe use of their personal data is paramount.
