IGRS representatives were also in attendance at the 2019 Elastos Ecosystem Partner Meeting, in which a number of budding projects joined forces under one roof to explore the direction of the Elastos ecosystem and the myriad opportunities that exist for potential partnerships. At the meeting, the projects and their teams also collaborated in a joint brainstorming session pertaining to the infrastructural blueprint for the ever-nearing next-generation internet.

Over the years, IGRS has been staunchly committed to developing standards spanning specialized enterprises in both the upstream and downstream industrial chain. The Association has formed an industrial group that integrates production, education, and research. In leveraging strong chip and module technology along with R&D and large-scale production capacity, IGRS provides promising support for Elastos in the field of IoT applications. IGRS’s expertise is centered most prominently on the comprehensive field often referred to as “3C:” computers, communications, and consumer electronics. In particular, the Association has amassed deep expertise in protocols, wireless communication modules, and cloud platform applications. Between its cloud service platform and IoT portal, IGRS offers a wealth of technical resources and extensive experience with a suite of cutting edge technologies poised for application in the Elastos ecosystem.
