CESAR and partners propose strategies for IoT in Brazil

 

CESAR, a private innovation center that creates products, services and businesses with Information and Communication Technologies, in partnership with TecnoPuc (PUCRS Scientific and Technological Park), the NGPD (Porto Digital Management Center), Porto Marinho and CIFS (a Danish think tank) launched POETAS.IT (Policies and Strategies for Technologies, Applications and Services for the Internet of Everything), a consolidated document with a series of strategies for public policies to encourage the diffusion of IoT in Brazil .
 
The material is based on several studies inside and outside the country, in a wide bibliography, and presents as possible strategies, a list of dimensions of public action so that the Internet of Things is widely disseminated and more richly explored. The consortium also addresses the impacts of IoT on the economy, on the daily life of society and especially on the Brazilian productive sector. “We believe that the wealth of knowledge and diversity of the team that built POETAS.IT gives the document support so that it can be a strategic guideline for the creation of public policies for the Internet of Things in Brazil”, emphasizes Eduardo Peixoto, chief business executive of CESAR.
 
When starting the work of elaborating this proposal, the POETAS.IT team sought to evaluate what already existed in terms of public policies of economic impact developed in recent years in Brazil and in the world, to understand, from the point of view of the global economy and sustainable growth, the phenomenon and potential impacts of the Internet of Things. This initial survey was the basis and one of the main elements to make it possible to define a strategic vision for the implementation and dissemination of IoT in Brazil.
 
POETAS.IT was built under a creative commons license, that is, since its conception it was thought to be a document open to society so that it can evolve and be implemented by any city or country in the world.
