Trinity College Dublin at IDTechEx Show Berlin 2019
Trinity College Dublin exhibited at IDTechEx Berlin 2019 to meet with existing partners and to seek out new partners for Trinity College Dublin, offering to add value to their existing Research & Development portfolios.
Dr. John Whelan – ICT Research Commercialisation Manager chaired the Smart Cities Session and delivered a presentation on Pervasive Nation: Lessons From A LoRaWAN Integration With A 5G Network In A Smart City Environment.
The Trinity College stand was visited by over 150 visitors from Industry, Venture Capital, Research Institutes and Government Agencies during the two-day event. There was a noticeable increase in visitors over the previous year in addition to several B2B meetings requested before the event.
Declan Weldon, Head of the Office of Corporate Partnership and Knowledge Exchange commented after the event - “Currently many economic sectors are being disrupted by emerging technologies in the materials and computer sciences and developments in the engineering space. Large and small Tech companies operate globally and need to develop new partnerships that will help them stay competitive. Trinity’s reputation for world class research in the areas of Materials, Networks and Creative Technologies can provide this knowledge-based support and participation in IDTechX is an efficient way to meet those companies.”
