A Comparative Study of IoT Development Policies (Case Study: USA, EU, and China)

The Internet of Things is one of the emerging technologies that has attracted the attention of some countries due to its significant economic benefits and social welfare, and while advancing in the field of technology, have sought to design a favorable policy system in this area. The Islamic Republic also needs to design its own model of active confrontation and its own policy-making system in order to make the most of opportunities and control threats and challenges. Utilizing the experiences of leading countries in the field of IoT is one of the resources that can help policy makers in designing a policy system. In this study, using library resources and documentary studies and using the comparative study method, we seek to answer the questions of what goals the European Union, the United States and China, as leading countries in this field, have chosen for their IoT policy-making system and policies. And what are their strategies for achieving those goals? After reviewing and describing the policy-making system of these countries, the tasks assigned by governments are divided into two categories: "Strategic Objectives Selection and Active Policy Development" and "Strategy Selection, Participation and Capacity Building".
