"The Smart Nation with its 3C concept that is linked to the IoT ecosystem, will give Singapore stronger resilience and to better practice sustainable development, which also means that the global IoT industry has entered the next stage," Luo said in his keynote address. "For Singapore's Smart Nation program, Tuya focuses on developing an open and neutral smart ecosystem, which ensures that devices of various categories and brands can be connected seamlessly, developing its own IoT platform at a high efficiency and low cost, and guaranteeing the arrival of smarter applications by fusing AI and other technologies to give customers full-process autonomy for IoT. Teaming up with intelligence has become vital, and Tuya is keen to collaborate with global developers to discover a better, greener, and more intelligent way of life."

Next, Tuya and many other well-known industry leaders gave excellent remarks to the audience, focusing on the three main subjects of "interconnection," "application," and "AI+IoT."

I. Interconnection: Forging a new IoT ecosystem

Developers are in urgent need of a secure, effective, and scalable platform to enable device interconnection between a variety of brands of devices under different connectivity protocols. The sharing of Tuya and its partners at the Summit showed the possibility of creating effective interconnection of devices.

Alex Yang, Co-Founder and COO of Tuya Smart delivered a keynote speech entitled "PaaS2.0:The Productivity Hub For Sustainable Application Scenarios".

"The progress of smart cities encounters a lot of challenges, among which data security and rapid development of personalized scenario applications are crucial," Yang said in his keynote address. "The security compliance capabilities of PaaS2.0 have once again advanced to a new level thanks to collaboration with the third-party auditing organizations and law firms. The Tuya Mini App offers comprehensive development frameworks, components, and APIs that can assist developers in creating individualized scene applications that are equivalent to the original App experiences with low entry barriers and great efficiency. Additionally, the development of AI algorithms and other personalization tools will raise the value of scene Apps even further. For instance, the energy-saving kit from Tuya for Singapore households can connect body sensors, infrared remote controls, smart fans, smart air conditioners, and more with the Mini App for home energy management to control the devices by the user's preferences and lower power usage."

Wi-Fi Alliance
Jerry Huang: Wi-Fi®: Inherent Strengths Enabling IoT Ecosystems

Jerry Huang, Managing Director of APAC Business Affairs of Wi-Fi Alliance said, "The Wi-Fi Alliance is dedicated to delivering an exceptional connectivity experience to our global industry partners, and standards-based interoperable technology is Wi-Fi's primary strength. The Internet of Things is established and developed among a variety of device manufacturers, while Wi-Fi offers a common platform to fit different devices' performance, power, and latency requirements and is simple, effective, and affordable to implement, providing end-users the confidence of a quality experience."

II. Applications: Unlock smart scene applications

How can developers effectively address the application needs of these smart industrial systems given the sheer number of systems involved in the smart industry? At the Summit, Tuya's "modular" software combination capabilities and rich hardware ecosystem provide developers with new ideas to break the ice.

Daniel Shan, Product Director of the Intelligence Business Group of Tuya Smart, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Business Value Creation under Technological Evolution".

"According to a Transforma Insight analysis, there will be 15000 million IoT device connections worldwide in 20 different industries, including education, community service, and many other industries, by 2023," Shan said. "This also implies that different industries require distinct things from business scene upgrades. The "modular" software combination capabilities of Tuya and its robust hardware ecosystem can support the quick implementation of smart scenarios by developers. Considering Tuya House & Real Estate SaaS, when multi-brand and cross-industry intelligent devices, like security management, access control intercom, parking gate, etc., are connected to Tuya's ecosystem through its industry solutions, they can work together with Tuya-enabled hardware devices to realize a smart scene. In addition, developers can quickly put community applications in use through Tuya's user-side application matrix, providing residents with distributed entrances such as App, Mini App, and smart terminals on the user's side, so that users can feel the convenience brought by the application of intelligent scenes at every entrance. On the property management side, managers can carry out regional operation and maintenance of the community through the property management App, and the utilization rate of space resources will be greatly enhanced. Tuya's integrated hardware and software solutions will help global industry customers to expand more industry scenarios and develop their own sustainable development path."

Meta, a globally recognized meta-universe enterprise
JingXian Wu: AI & LLMs Impact on the IoT Industry

Jingxian Wu, Data Scientist of Meta, said, "The integration of AI and IoT will bring inspiration for global industries. All software and industries will be able to reshape with big models, developing comprehensive smart hardware. For example, the original equipment could only recognize a single scene, which would not preform ideally in real-life scenarios. With the multi-modal ability of the large language model, the equipment can perform analysis and association with changing scenes, alerting users in real time. Thus, I think application based on big models will become the next trend."

The TUYA Developer Summit (Singapore) unveiled many innovative Tuya-enabled products and integrated software and hardware solutions, which triggered heated discussions among the industry leaders and also presented a wonderful collision of viewpoints for developers. In the future, the TUYA Developer Summit will be held in various major cities and overseas in 2023.
