What Was IoT Tech Expo Europe 2023?
IoT Tech Expo Europe 2023 was a technology conference held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on 26 and 27 September 2023. It covered the Internet of Things, cloud, AI, cybersecurity, and emerging tech, with blockchain and distributed-ledger sessions for enterprise audiences. The official page sat on the IoT Tech Expo Europe site. It is a broad enterprise technology event rather than a pure crypto conference, but blockchain-for-IoT and DLT for supply chain sit squarely within its agenda.
Blockchain's most compelling enterprise story is in IoT, supply-chain tracking, and data provenance, which is exactly where this event operates. To follow tech and crypto gatherings, see CoinGabbar's crypto events calendar and our Web3 tech events list.
Key Themes at IoT Tech Expo Europe
The agenda matched an enterprise technology crowd:
- IoT and smart devices.
- Cloud and edge computing.
- Blockchain for supply chain and data integrity.
- AI and automation, tracked on our crypto AI events hub.
The enterprise focus gave it real technical depth. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Blockchain and Tech Are Growing in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is one of Europe's most forward-looking crypto and blockchain markets, and Amsterdam is a recognised tech-innovation hub with over 350 blockchain startups. Dutch banks like ABN AMRO and ING have been piloting blockchain and tokenisation projects since 2024, and Dutch crypto exchanges like Bitvavo and Bitonic lead the local market with easy euro on-ramps. By the end of 2024, roughly 14% of Dutch adults held crypto.
The regulatory environment is clear and proactive. As an EU member, the Netherlands operates under MiCA, with a twin-peaks model where the AFM (Autoriteit Financiële Markten) handles CASP licensing and the DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank) oversees stablecoins. The Netherlands chose a shorter-than-standard MiCA transition period and issued the EU's very first MiCA CASP licences on Day 1. For an enterprise tech event, Amsterdam offers a highly educated, internationally connected audience that understands both IoT and blockchain deeply.
