IoT is creating smarter cities, industries, and businesses, but to unlock its full potential, we need skilled professionals who can turn innovation into reality.
Why IoT is Critical 📈

2️⃣ Crucial for SMEs: SMEs make up 99% of EU businesses, employing 60% of the private sector workforce – and they need IoT experts to stay competitive (https://lnkd.in/eDBRVzM4).
