The IoT Solutions World Congress 2025 is the leading international event dedicated to the Internet of Things and its industrial and urban applications. Organised by Fira de Barcelona, one of Europe's foremost trade fair institutions, the congress takes place from 21–23 October 2025 at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via venue and attracts thousands of technology professionals, industry leaders, city officials, and researchers from around the world.
The congress offers a comprehensive programme that spans the full breadth of IoT applications, with particular strength in smart city infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, connected healthcare, intelligent energy systems, and transportation. It combines a large-scale exhibition featuring hundreds of exhibitors with a congress programme of expert speakers, and a distinctive testbed area where attendees can interact with fully operational IoT solutions rather than mere prototypes. This emphasis on working demonstrations and measurable outcomes sets IOTSWC apart from more conceptual technology events.
Key themes include industrial IoT and Industry 4.0 transformation, smart city sensor networks and urban data platforms, digital twin technology for infrastructure management, edge computing and real-time analytics, IoT security and data governance frameworks, and the integration of AI with connected device ecosystems. The programme features case studies from cities and enterprises that have successfully deployed IoT solutions at scale, providing practical insights for attendees seeking to replicate these approaches.
This event is particularly valuable for smart city strategists, infrastructure managers, IoT solution providers, and urban technology researchers. Barcelona's thriving technology ecosystem and its reputation as a global smart city pioneer make it a fitting host. The IoT Solutions World Congress serves as an essential meeting point for those shaping the connected future of cities and industries.
