Core members showcased their ifLink-realated activities, university students demonstrated how they are using ifLink, and all participants showed their support for the shared goal of global promotion of ifLink as a de facto standard for IoT ecosystem that allows users to create new experiences, and to link devices and web services regardless of product manufacturers.
The community will host idea creation and sourcing programs from April, will hold a proposal pitch event this summer.
The ifLink
TDSL developed ifLink as a platform allowing product developers to bring IoT capabilities to a much wider range of user-first applications. It is simple to use, requiring no expertise in IT or programming, and allows users to operate apps and functions by defining a condition and a result-if and then. This simplicity and flexibility is expected to realize new opportunities to companies in a wide range of businesses.
The community already comprises over 100 members from different disciplines and businesses as different as IoT, fintech, mobility, tele-communication, insurance, finance, energy, entertainment, manufacturing, startup, academia and NPO.
From April, the community will hold idea creation and sourcing programs, as part of a first year calendar that includes:
Online activities to share members' goals, products and technologies.
Workshops for idea creation from multiple angles.
Communities to develop devices and web services connected to ifLink.
Open marketing programs to study the feasibility of business ideas.
A proposal pitch event for the above business ideas above in the summer of 2020.
Toshiba and TDSL will work closely with the community and core members to promote early creation of user-first IoT services.
