IoT Tech Expo: Transport and logistics: why the convergence of IoT and blockchain is driving these industries forward

Industry: Technology

IoT News recently reported that “phenomenal growth in the blockchain IoT market is to exceed well over two billion by 2024” with the market set to reach just over $3bn (£2.21bn). With both areas holding huge potential, the value really lies in the convergence of these two technologies. As IoT security concerns rise, the transparency and immutability of blockchain is set to help solve these issues.

London / Global (PRUnderground) April 3rd, 2019
