Wipro has elected to sponsor a recently established non-profit research centre, which focuses on the application and development of technology related to the Internet of Things (IoT).

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) aims to “bring forth radical new capabilities throughout the Internet of Things value chain”.

Wipro joins Samsung, AT&T and AirWatch as a founding sponsor; between them, these companies will help to shape the director of the centre’s IoT research.

“Today, enterprises and academic institutions collaborate in a manner previously impossible to harness collective knowledge and innovate. We are happy to join forces with Georgia Tech and explore the possibilities of how the IoT explosion can transform the world in which we live,” said Dr. Alan Atkins, vice president and global head of IoT at Wipro.
