Claire Curry, who leads the Emerging Technology Group at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, will provide an exclusive forecast on the technologies and trends within the internet of things, and asses the benefits and barriers to adopting emerging technologies such as advanced processing power, machine learning, communications networks and cloud analytics.
