However, thispotential is not available to all regions. As with otherenabling technologies, the competences required todevelop IoT solutions are numerous and varied, rangingfrom hardware to software and related services, and areoften provided by different companies. To map the applicationpotential of these technologies across Europeanregions, we use textual analysis to identify the NACE codesassociated with five main IoT domains. We identify clustersof regions characterized by different mixes of competencesin IoT technologies and we discuss the policy implicationsof our findings at both European and regional levels. 收起
