Imagine a fridge that monitors the food that goes in and out and what is left, the intelligent fridge now
- orders milk when you are low
- buys electricty for cooling at the best rate
- monitors food websites to gather recipes for your dinners and adding the ingredients automatically to your shopping list.
- knows where the food came from and can trace it
 - learns what food you like to eat, based on the ratings you have given to your dinners.

We will bring together people who are deploying the internet of things and are focussed on where the value is.
