echaOrganised by Fira de Barcelona and the Industry IOT Consortium (IIC), IOTSWC 2023 welcomed more than 15,500 visitors, 30% more than at the last edition, who were able to see how the latest innovations developed through disruptive technologies such as the Internet of Things, Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality and 5G connectivity will reshape the industrial landscape in the near future.

Leading companies such as ABB, Amazon Web Services, Device Authority, Entrust, Emnify, Faircom, KNX, STMicroelectronics, Nozomi Networks, Relayr, Sternum, Deutsche Telekom and TxOne, among others, and speakers including Séan O'Reagain, Deputy Head of the Industry 5.0 Unit of the European Commission; Jessica Poliner, Executive Director of Relayr; and Michael Grieves, Executive Director and Chief Scientist of the Digital Twin Institute, considered the father of the Digital Twins, contributed to making this IOTSWC one of the best editions ever.

The Director of IOTSWC, Roger Bou, pointed out that: "In 2023, IOTSWC registered an outstanding participation of professionals and high-level executives who have been able to discover the solutions and technologies that the exhibiting companies have showcased to contribute to the digitisation of the industry".

Along these lines, the President of the IIC, Bill Hoffman, said: "The attendance and exciting new products presented have made the 2023 edition one of the best in the event’s history".
