"Wuxi, a national demonstration base for sensor networks, has attracted numerous Internet of Things (IoT) companies, accounting for nearly a quarter of the 750 billion yuan ($108.69 billion) national output of the IoT industry. And now, Wuxi is determined to take on the challenge of leading the development of the IoT industry, after hosting the first World Internet of Things Exposition (WIOT) from Oct 30 to Nov 1, and has further promised to turn WIOT into an annual event. I hope Wuxi will make breakthroughs in core technologies of IoT, and play a more crucial role as a leader of this industry at home and abroad."
