Kuzzle's 2022 year in review

2022 has been a year of consolidation in the development of Kuzzle. Thanks to the Kuzzle Team for the work done and to our partners, customers, and community for their unfailing support : )

Our ambition: create an open scalable standard

2022 was an intense year! We were delighted to meet you all over France, whether in Paris, Montpellier, Lyon, or Rennes. We hope to see you there in 2023 : ) 

Kuzzle is a recognized actor in the IoT ecosystem of smart territories, transporters, logisticians, or industrials utilising our platform.
We went to meet you this year: 

• our team exhibited at the 38th FNCCR congress (National Federation for Smart Cities) in Rennes with our partner Kawantech to unveil our intelligent public lighting system for smart cities
• we exhibit at the IBS/Smart City trade show in Paris and speak at 4 conferences during the event on subjects such as "Artificial Intelligence for the smart and sustainable city" and "Operational maintenance of intelligent buildings".
• a new feature this year was our participation at the SITL - Salon de l'Innovation Transport & Logistique. We went to meet with our clients in the transport & logistics sector to showcase our logistics use cases: asset tracking, real-time geolocation, digital twins, etc.

Opportunities to meet with our partners were high in 2022
We took advantage of our presence at IoT World Paris and SIDO Lyon to discuss our latest product features with our partners. We also hosted conferences such as "Selecting an IoT platform without vendor lock-in". 
Our feedback enriches the thinking around companies' IoT requirements to better support them in their development needs.

For those of you who couldn't make it to the shows, check out our latest Podcasts on:

Success stories that concretize our ambition to create an open and scalable standard by offering an open source alternative to the IoT & data platform market.
