Our Vision and Mission

Vision: People seamlessly connected to each other and their environments in a safe, private, and secure world. Life is easier and richer through the adoption of the Internet of Things.

Mission: Enable effective use and spur broad adoption of the Internet of Things by making it as easy to discover and interact with connected devices, as it is to find and use information on the open web. The resulting open ecosystem should facilitate experimentation with applications and user experience, ensure privacy and security, and should aid the development of systems that guarantee interoperability.
