Smart Homes and Buildings Forum
April 24-25, 2007
Stockholm, Sweden
www.inoventa.com
Smart home & building technologies presents new service opportunities and revenue streams as they empower occupants or users to have better control over operational costs. The smart technologies allow for higher comfort of living, better management and consequently induce higher ROI as the properties become more attractive.
This opens up new market opportunities and many pioneering players are already tapping such increasing market potential. Yet new opportunities present new challenges on driving commercialisation and mass uptake, which in turn is largely dependent on standardisation and interoperability. Regardless of development stage, actors in the market are facing issues in technology and cost pressures related to the commercial implementation.
This event will gather the stakeholders in the smart homes and buildings market and focus on topics regarding how to lift the stakeholder collaboration to accelerate the commercial adoption of smart homes and buildings. It will provide insightful updates, strategic ideas and innovative solutions in the format of case presentations and open panel discussions for benchmarking and networking opportunities across five industries: Construction and building; broadband and telecommunications; consumer equipment manufacturers; utilities and smart application developers.
Hear about the KEY TOPICS:
Commercialisation strategies of smart homes & buildings
Stakeholder collaboration and holistic approaches to drive adoption of smart homes & buildings
Standardisation and interoperability: status and updates
Commercialisation of value added services enabled by various gateways and interfaces
Entry of Telcos: the launch of digital home services to drive the uptake of smart homes
How smart features improve energy management, buildings performance and operational costs
Strategies to realise business case
Utilisation of smart home and buildings technologies
