RFID: Towards the Internet of Things II

METRO GROUP Future Store Initiative at RFID Conference in Lisbon

November 2007

"The next Step to the Internet of Things"- that’s the title of an EU Conference on the subject of RFID to take place in Lisbon on 15 and 16 November 2007. Organized by the Portuguese Council Presidency, this is the second RFID Conference to be held this year, after the successful Berlin Conference in June.

The METRO GROUP Future Store Initiative will also be represented in Lisbon, again with two presenters and an exhibition stand. The core message of the presentation in Portugal will be the successful launch of the largest operating RFID application in the European wholesaling and retailing industry by the METRO GROUP. Among other events, a film will be shown at the conference, entitled "METRO GROUP: 5 Years of RFID"

As successors of the German Council Presidency, the Portuguese are continuing the European dialog on the subject of RFID. Following up on the Berlin conference under the motto of "RFID: Towards the Internet of Things" the Lisbon Conference is taking up topical issues relating to the successful introduction of radio technology. The event is flanked by the Portuguese Ministry of Science and the Directorate General "Information Society and Media" of the European Commission.
