As important as IoT is for the future, what kind of steps will be taken to involve some 3rd world countries in this development as they have limited resources and are already behind in the terms of the tech evolvement process?

Hi Mehant Parkash, I'm not sure if I understand correctly your question. I´m in Brazil, and we have the poorest and richest living together.

I´m an entrepreneur here and always thinking about how to delivery new business models faster and cheaper. I think that each country should find their own policies and funding to do so. We all have great minds and usually a lot of creativity.

Today we have access to information and we've contact with everybody abroad. The international communities are developing the future and we must pay attention to follow and to suggest improvements.

It keep on us to do our best and be smarter and faster.

Be Happy.

Hi Mehant, hi Luiz, 

I thought the article below might be of interest to you - it's about South Africa and IoT.

Also, I think it's worth considering the amazing speed at which developing countries tend to catch up in terms of technology, as they have done with computing and mobile. They learn from the lengthy journey of developed markets which had to go through trial and error and are able to implement what works much faster. I, for one, am not too worried about developing markets being left behind in the IoT space, I think each has its own rhythm that works for its needs and in line with its resources, and that's mostly ok. Let's not forget that developing markets often come up with the most resourceful solutions and are often at the cutting edge when it comes to innovation - think about the world's first successful heart transplant that was performed in Cape Town.

IOT in Africa needs localised approach Although there is a universal business case for adopting the Internet of things (IOT) in industries of all types across the US and Europe, the same can't be said for Africa, which is made up of many economically and politically diverse countries.
