Internet of Things: Innovation and Management (IoT-IM) (MSc)

At École Polytechnique, we firmly believe that solid technical and scientific know-how must be complemented by a thorough understanding of the economic, regulatory and societal context, in order to form a complete and competent engineer. The Internet of Things: Innovation and Management Program aims to provide such an understanding through the study of six thematic pillars and how they apply specifically to the world of connected objects:

> Electronics: objects, captors, sensors, and more

> Communications: connectivity, data transmission

> Software Systems: embedded systems, cloud and data exploitation

> Law & Regulation: intellectual property, individual rights & data protection

> Management & Economics: monetization of data, business models, Innovation and entrepreneurship, Strategy, Project management

> Society & Sociology: behavioral interaction, social changes

The coursework of your degree will allow you to study with faculty members and work in the very laboratories where several of the communication protocols used for smart grids and software systems were invented. Co-tutoring opportunities will be available with our valued research and industrial partners, including EDF R&D and Cisco Systems, the latter of which also sponsors the École Polytechnique “Internet of Things” Chair.
