From Net-atHome to ict for sustainable homes

Sigma Orionis, through its Homega Research division has organised 10 editions of the Net-atHome research and industry forum over the period 1995-2007. Net-atHome was a two-day conference and exhibition focusing on the domain of the networked home, also identified as the connected home, and more widely as the high-tech or digital home.

More precisely, the event focused on technological and market developments in the areas of home networks and gateways, networked appliances, and advanced services for the home (based on home platforms or infrastructures).

In 2009, considering that the challenges faced by organisations developing innovative products and services for the home had evolved, Sigma Orionis made the decision to replace its “Net-atHome” events by “ICT for sustainable homes” events.

The event rationale remains the same: providing leading stakeholders involved in ICT based products and services for the home in Europe and worldwide with the opportunity to meet and network, to be informed of latest developments and find fresh ideas, to identify promising technologies and markets, to find potential partners, to initiate or strengthen projects, etc.

The event concept remains identical as well: a two-day conference and exhibition.
