The Industrial IoT ecosystem is a truly dynamic space and a large part of that dynamism can be attributed to the investment and venture capital space that provides the financial impetus to drive innovation in niche fields like edge computing, cybersecurity and blockchain. 

In the second episode of our "Ventures in Industrial IoT" series with GE Ventures, we are pleased to welcome Nicholas Pappageorge, IoT market analyst at CB Insights to the show. Brace yourself for a highly engaging and data-driven conversation as Nicholas shares his findings on the latest trends impacting the venture capital space surrounding the Industrial IoT market.

According to the 2017 Gartner Hype Cycle, many emerging technologies linked to IoT like machine learning, cognitive computing and IoT platforms find themselves in the "peak of inflated expectations" phase. At such an inflexion point, it is vital to accurately evaluate the promise these technologies hold for us. 

In the first part of the very first episode of this exciting new series, Mike Dolbec, Managing Director of venture investments and M&A at GE Digital has a candid discussion about edge computing, blockchain and other nascent technologies in the Industrial IoT space.

The Industrial IoT world is seeing soaring adoption rates of edge analytics solutions as a means of staying ahead of the IoT curve. In fact a recent report by Transparency Market Research estimated that the the global edge analytics market is expected to be worth US$25.569 billion by 2025. It is vital that your business is aware of the benefits that edge analytics solutions can bring to your firm's IoT portfolio. In the third and final part of this episode, Foghorn's CEO David King who will run us through a use case of how their edge analytics technology is being implemented. 

There has been increasing interest in recent times in the IoT world with regards to the edge domain of the IoT technology stack. In particular, the focus has been on moving increasing compute power to the edge domain in order to improve real time IoT application response with big firms such as Dell doubling down on the edge with their recent IQT initiative. In the second part of this episode, we are happy to be joined again by Foghorn's CEO David King who will do a deep dive into the technology driving the latest advancements in edge analytics. 

Fog computing is a concept of bringing a layer of computing power closer to the edge of an enterprise's network and was a term coined by Cisco several years ago as part of their "Internet of Everything" pioneering initiative. While Cisco succeeded at the networking element of fog computing, that left the whole computing side of the equation unanswered. In the first episode of this three-part series, we chat with a company that was formed with the core objective of finding the answers to this question. We are pleased to welcome David King, CEO of FogHorn Systems to the show who will be telling us more about the company and how they are working hard to bring IoT intelligence closer to the edge.
