2021 Global AI+IoT Developers Ecosystem White Paper Co-production Welcome Preface In 2021, with the increasingly obvious trend of open platform in AI+IoT industry, developers have become the key driving force for the development of this industry. The more a platform supported by developers, the more chances it has got to achieve the win-win situation in the industry, popularize connection to all walks of life, and make IoT a common practice in families. by Schneider Electric 2021 Global AI+IoT Developers Ecosystem White Paper predicts that IoT, industrial internet and new infrastructure of B2B industry will be implemented on a large scale in 2021. As the ToC consumer market gradually went to saturation, technologies that would help the manufacturing, industry and vertical industries to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency would be more favored by enterprises and capital markets.

Preface by Schneider Electric The world is becoming more digital, leading to disruptions in every sector of our economy. The global pandemic has profoundly shaken society and will continue to be a catalyst for change as we build the new normal. Digitization of everything has rapidly increased as companies look for solutions to ensure business continuity. apid acceleration of digitization brings new opportunities for growth for some, and challenges for those not able to pivot and adapt. As industries digitize, the Internet of things (IoT, real-time information, and digital tools are breaking traditional silos, enabling remote operation of facilities and creating innovative and sustainable economic models. Artificial Intelligence technologies are enabling new solutions that can Emmanuel Lagarrigue increase efficiency and sustainability as decisions are made in real-time. -Chief Innovation Officer, At chneider Electric, we believe ife is n and have a customer-first Schneider Electric approach and obsession with innovation and sustainability. We are leveraging IoT to connect energy, automation, software, and analytics to fuel revolutionary innovations in efficiency, sustainability, reliability, and safety for our customers. We also know we can’t create all the solutions needed for a more sustainable and resilient future on our own. This is why we believe in building an eco-system of partners to co-innovate and scale bold ideas to meet customer needs. We also empower our over 0,000-strong partner ecosystem to expand our coverage. Its clear that AI and IoT industrys development cannot be separated from a diverse developer ecosystem and a neutral and open development platform. Industries working together to build an interconnected development ecosystem strengthens the innovation generated. trategic partnerships and alliances are essential to create and shape the future of IoT technology and smart living to ensure our buildings are efficient, sustainable and adaptable to new technologies. By working together and leveraging technology, we can develop the innovations needed to tackle the biggest problem we face collectively- fighting climate change, reducing ineuality and creating a more sustainable world. by Philips Today, a world based on Internet of Things is at the horizon. rom single smart device functionality to multi-categories devices interactions, from remote control in mobile to user value generation in data, users extract more from AIoT applications. eanwhile, AIoT ecosystems turn more diversified. ew collaboration models appear continuously across the spectrum as “closed in one end and “open in the other. nder various scenarios, richer vertical applications will be seen. At Philips, a 10-year history health-tech company, we believe that care should be organized seamlessly around peoples health ourney, across consumers healthy living at home, out-of-hospital and in healthcare settings connecting people, data and technology. We believe that IoT is really about people not things. Andy Ho The true added value of the AIoT lies not in any single device, but in President of Philips Greater China, integrated solutions combinations of many systems, devices, software Member of the Royal Philips and services, configured and delivered in a way that address needs of Executive Committee our customers and consumers. IoT enables real-time data capturing and integration from various consumer and medical devices, translating those data into useful insights through AI. ur engagement and care can be very personalized, proactive, and preventative, across an entire ourney. The Global AIoT Developers Ecosystem White Paper analyzes the current situation and future direction of the AIoT industry from a macro perspective, and reveals the current challenges and the key to the development of the industry. In order to realize the interconnection of all things, rich and diverse developers, and an open and neutral platform are indispensable. We look forward to the publication of the White Paper to inect new vitality to the AIoT industry, and enrich vertical applications in different scenarios. by Philips by Calex Today, a world based on Internet of Things is at the horizon. rom single The surge of digitalization, which took place in the past decades, changed smart device functionality to multi-categories devices interactions, from the global business landscape.
