South Korean President Park Geun-hye, during her visit to India last week, pitched for IoT as one area where the two countries should work jointly and address other markets. "Korea and India will be able to produce a global win-win model through a creative economy from the former's strength in hardware and the latter's competitiveness in software," Park said, addressing an information and communications technology forum. IoT, next-generation smartphones and big data, she said, will be the core engines to achieve a "creative economy" for sustainable growth.
