IoT Week originated in the IoT European Research Cluster (IERC) and has become the pre-eminent event attracting industry and academia from around the world. Since 2014 the IoT Week is organised by the IoT Forum, jointly with a local host chosen by the members of the IoT Forum.

Building on the successes of London, Helsinki, Venice and Barcelona, the IoT Week continues the journey, bringing focus to the emerging opportunities; connecting the global business and research communities innovating at the boundaries of IoT; promoting international collaboration and addressing societal and market issues.

The programme of the IoT Week is built up by the IoT community and signed of by a secretariat assembled from leading persons in the IoT field.
