Cozify to present at Parks Associates’ 11th-annual
CONNECTIONS™ Europe
Executive Conference addresses innovation, business models, and value-added services for
smart home and IoT industries
Espoo, Nov 1st, 2016– Cozify announced today that Antti Vihavainen will participate as a
speaker at the 11th
-annual CONNECTIONS™ Europe – Smart Home, IoT, and the Connected
Consumer, 2-3 November, at the NH Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam. He will
participate in the seminar’s opening session “Business Case for Smart Home and connected CE
Products” on Nov 2nd, 2016 at 9 AM.
The interactive panel session, moderated by the Stuart Sikes, President of Parks Associates
addresses the pricing models, smart home channels, emerging partnerships, and new
technologies that are disrupting this nascent space. Cozify urges the expansion of the smart
home value network beyond the traditional retail and professional installer channels towards
a setup where players of various industry verticals extract value to their core business by
utilizing consumer-IoT solutions. “In practice that means companies such as insurers
experiencing decreased number and value of home insurance related claims when their
customers get an early warning and get immediate assistance from their insurance provider”
explains Antti Vihavainen from Cozify. “And unless the European service providers start acting
quickly, the internet giants from North America will capture much of the smart home
potential” he continues.
Recent study from Parks Associates shows that:
Currently, over 50% of broadband households in the U.K., Germany, and Spain are “not
at all familiar” with smart home products or services, leaving a big opportunity for
companies to highlight new products and offerings.
CONNECTIONS™ Europe will address IoT and smart home strategies with over 200 industry
executives in an intimate networking environment, with two full days of sessions focused on
technology innovation, advancements in IoT solutions that are creating more consumer
engagement, and business opportunities for smart home, cloud services, and connected
entertainment solutions.
“Partnerships, new business cases, and effective data analytics that provide value to
manufacturers and service providers will help drive adoption and revenue growth in smart
home and connected entertainment solutions,” said Stuart Sikes, President, Parks Associates.
“We look forward to Cozify participating at the event and providing invaluable insights to grow
the connected home ecosystems.”
