More and more companies are using connected devices to build specific products and services, which in most cases rely on a new concept of identity. Security, costs and experience itself are based on this new identity.
Nowadays, there are countless devices connected to the Internet, from coffeemakers to refrigerators. According to data from Gartner, by 2020 there will be 30 billion devices connected to the Internet thanks to IoT. The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the health sector and the workplace by means of wearables and mobile apps. With data collection, transmission and combination, the IoT offers a healthier future to all of its users.

This has been stated by the Institute of Digital Economics of the ESIC in a recent report that also includes the Web 4.0, ‘Social to Everything Media’, blockchain technology, authentication and B2C interfaces as its main topics.
Connected homes and vehicles, wearables and smart cities are four fields in which APIs are driving forward the Internet of Things sector. These application programming interfaces boost business creation.
