What we can do for you

Our team of experts advocate on your behalf and ensure that policymakers hear and understand your concerns, shaping government decisions that affect your company. We arrange face-to-face meetings between members and policymakers to ensure your voice is heard.

Our advocacy work spans the UK, European Union (EU), and United States (U.S.), where we regularly meet with policymakers, helping them understand the needs of our members. This gives us a truly global perspective, helping our members who trade across borders.

We regularly publish analyses to increase your knowledge of regulation, policy developments, and best practices that may influence how you design your products or grow your business.

Our tools and best practices are designed to make compliance easier for you, which helps to increase your current and potential customers’ confidence in your company.

Our policy priorities reflect the opportunities and challenges today’s small IoT innovators and app developers face in the mobile economy. This includes protecting your intellectual property, addressing the digital skills gap, and ensuring continued economic growth.
