IBM pairs IoT development with Watson at business unit

IBM has announced that Munich is to serve as the worldwide headquarters for a new line of business marrying their internet of things (IoT) services with the cognitive computing power of its Watson system.
Dubbed the Watson IoT Unit and opened alongside an innovation centre, it marks IBM’s biggest European investment since the 1990s.
Big Blue cut the ribbon on the campus at an event held on 15 December 2015, as it launched a series of offerings, capabilities and partnerships designed to extend “the power of cognitive computing” to the IoT via its worldwide platform, the Watson IoT Cloud.
