Our bottom-up analysis for the applications, we size estimates that the IoT has a total potential economic impact of $3.9 trillion to $11.1 trillion a year by 2025.”

The number and variety of previous NSF SBIR awards regarding the Internet of Things (IoT) provides a strong indication of future NSF proposal bidding opportunities in this space (Please see partial list below of previous NSF awards granted during the past 18 months). The next NSF SBIR solicitation will be published sometime during August with proposal acceptance starting in November and closing in December 2016. Given the recent history of NSF IoT awards, it will be worthwhile to check this pending NSF solicitation.
