Entries are now open for the IoT Awards, the official awards program of IoT Alliance Australia (IoTAA), the Australian Internet of Things (IoT) industry body, and IoT Hub.
The awards recognise that real-time data is increasingly important to Australian industry, government and citizens. It’s assisting our response to crises and enabling industry to compete internationally. The awards aim to shine a spotlight on Australian IoT achievements within this scope.
Why enter?
- Become an alumni of Australia’s premier IoT Awards program

In 2020, the awards attracted more than 100 entrants from government, industry and academia. They included government data sharing initiatives, projects that used IoT to monitor people movement in Melbourne and Perth during the pandemic, a Wi-Fi rollout encompassing hundreds of NSW Health sites, and a university program that aimed to change education about cyber-physical systems.
