This is why all of us should meet up together again to keep tuned and up-to-date. So let me invite you to overall IQRF Alliance Meeting in Prague (HQ of Microsoft), 11.-12.01.2017 (register here)

As you know the previous events were especially about introducing you one to another so you could have started cooperation on joint projects.  The goal of the next meeting though is to start operating as a real Alliance. That means working within committees and teams to set up common strategy, marketing plan, technical architecture, certification procedures and development plan of the Smart School Program. So as of this you will have an opportunity to stear the Alliace according to your business goals.
