“Almost 20 billion IoT-enabled devices will go online over the next half a decade and this represents an amazing opportunity for us. So many devices will have to have a IoT-skilled workforce to manage them and we need to invest in training and upskilling our workforce to ensure we capitalize on this opportunity. Adequate skilling capacity needs to be created for this by attracting investments from within the country and outside. I hope that our government takes a step in this direction through this budget.”
