Gartner Says Personal Worlds and the Internet of Everything Are Colliding to Create New Markets

With the digital world upon us, digitalisation will significantly change the technology market through the Internet of Things, according to Gartner, Inc. While IT spending in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) will show an average annual growth rate of 2.2 per cent through 2017, the Internet of Things (things, people, places and systems) will create new markets and a new economy.

Gartner analysts are examining the future of the digital world in front of an audience of more than 4,800 CIOs and IT leaders at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2013, which is taking place in Barcelona through 14 November.
