insightful, but also practical and grounded in real-world application. In an industry as dynamic as ours, it’s vital that we work together to support its growth and address the ever-present skills gap. At Electrical Engineering, we’re committed to doing our part and we hope this new section will help you better navigate the market and identify the leaders worth watching. On a broader note, this month marked World Internet of Things (IoT) Day, a celebration of the incredible advancements IoT continues to bring into our lives. From smart homes and wearable devices to connected vehicles and cutting-edge industrial applications, IoT is reshaping how we live, work and interact with the world. In 2020, over 14 billion IoT devices were connected globally, a number that’s only set to rise in the years ahead. The potential for smarter cities, transformative healthcare and enhanced connectivity is truly limitless.
In recognition of this, we’re taking a deeper dive into the world of IoT through our Smart Building & IoT feature this month, examining how these technologies are influencing everyday life. In addition to that, this issue also covers key topics including: Data Centre Management, Electrical
Software Design, Electric Vehicles, Hazardous Area Equipment, Lighting & Lighting Controls and Cables & Connectors. We hope you enjoy this month’s edition. As always, feel free to reach out to us for anything related to Advertising or Editorial — we’d love to hear from you.
Enjoy!
