The Internet Initiatives Development Foundation ( IIDF ) will test the start-up solutions in the field of the Internet of Things . This order was given to the fund by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. In the near future, IIDF will announce a special set of start-ups for finding solutions both to a specialized accelerator and partners - for younger companies, and for organizing real “pilots” at large business sites, says fund representative Sergey Skrypnikov.

As such sites, the United Instrument-Making Corporation ( DIC ), the Kaskol Group (working in the aerospace, aviation and energy industries) and the GS Group were considered .

"The ministry plans to take into consideration projects in which the end user confirms the demand for solutions in the field of the Internet of things," explained Gleb Nikitin, first deputy minister of industry and trade.

“As a co-investor of the STAN group, we are really interested in dealing with the topic of IoT in the field of machine tools. In the future, the importance of IoT will certainly grow, and we transmitted our interest to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, ” said Sergei Nedoroslev, head of the Kaskol group of directors, to Kommersant.

Each selected company developing solutions in the field of consumer electronics and microelectronics will be able to receive from the GS Group investments of up to 300 million rubles to launch mass production at the holding facilities in the Kaliningrad region, said GS Group strategic marketing director Andrei Bezrukov.

Now IIDF is completing negotiations with two startups who already have ready-made solutions for big business, says Sergey Skrypnikov:

One of them allows in real time to capture and integrate in the cloud data on the state of workshop machines and mechanisms from various production devices and sensors, even outdated ones. Now the technology is being tested in production at one of the dairies, they say in the IIDF.

Another startup has developed a technology that allows them to aggregate and transmit to the cloud data on the status of devices and individual parts from black boxes of Russian and foreign helicopters.

“We are participating as experts in the framework of the two FRIA accelerators - Fintech and the“ smart city ”. In Fintech, we have a direct interest: it is obvious that the “uberization” of the banking industry is not far off, and those who succeed in this process will gain an advantage, ”Kommersant’s senior vice president and head of the Otkritie Bank’s operational and technological unit told Kommersant. Sergey Mednov.

Such technologies are especially important in the context of an ever-increasing population of cities: every year more than $ 10 billion is invested in the development and implementation of solutions in the field of the Internet of Things, Kommersant cites data.

According to Gartner's forecast, the number of networked items, not counting computers, smartphones and tablets, will increase from 4.9 billion in 2015 to 25 billion pieces in 2020. The volume of the IoT market in the world by 2020 will reach $ 7.1 trillion, predicted by IDC.
