Description:

With technology just a few months on the market it is possible to build an internet network for things without 3G or WiFi. It is called The Things Network.

We are on a mission to provide this technology globally through crowdsourcing. We managed to launch a network covering Amsterdam in six weeks. Eight weeks later Sao Paulo, Boston, Buenos Aires, Kochi and Sydney were doing the same.

We enable DYI-ers and citizens to build a carrier grade network bottom up. More doing, less talking. Something the IoT needs to escape the hype phase.

Speakers:

Wienke Giezeman

Wienke Giezeman is the founder of The Things Network. He is on a mission to provide the entire world with a free and open internet of things data network. He managed to provide the city of Amsterdam with coverage in 6 weeks, and he is now building a global IoT data network.

He started his career with KPN but soon after he left the corporate world and founded WappZapp, a video on demand platform providing curated free and paid video. Wappzapp got acquired by Sanoma Publishing at the end of 2014.

Wienke has been fighting for a free and open internet since he founded Startups for Net Neutrality. Together with a group of people he let the EU Parliament know how important net neutrality is for starting online businesses.

He is also the founder and CEO of The Smiths, an app agency, and he is mentor at Rockstart Accellerator. He talks about the Internet of Things, Starups, net neutrality and app development.
