We are excited to announce that the Zephyr Project will be an official Ecosystem Partner at The Things Conference 2025, the premier global event for LPWAN and IoT technologies. Taking place on September 23 – 24, 2025, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, this event will spotlight cutting-edge advancements in embedded systems, open source innovation, and low-power wireless technologies.
As an Ecosystem Partner, the Zephyr Project will be actively contributing to the conference program through a series of keynotes, workshops, roundtables, and panel discussions. These sessions will highlight Zephyr’s continued leadership in the embedded ecosystem, focusing on its role as a modular, open source RTOS built for low-power and resource constrained devices.
“Zephyr is a cornerstone in modern embedded development,” said Wienke Giezeman, CEO of The Things Industries and founder of The Things Network. “Its integration with LPWAN and wireless technologies enables developers to create secure and scalable IoT solutions. We are excited to have the Zephyr Project contribute to The Things Conference 2025 through keynotes, workshops, and panels, providing invaluable insights to our global community.”
The growing momentum around Zephyr RTOS is being felt across a wide range of industries- from industrial sensors to consumer wearables – driven by its robust architecture, flexible hardware support, and vibrant open source community.
One of the major topics that Zephyr will emphasize at the conference is the increasing importance of memory safety in embedded system development. In particular, Zephyr’s adoption of Rust, a language known for safety and performance, reflects the project’s commitment to building secure, dependable IoT applications.
“The embedded industry is witnessing a significant shift towards Zephyr RTOS,” noted Kate Stewart, Vice President of Dependable Embedded Systems at the Linux Foundation. “At The Things Conference, we will showcase the wide range of innovations emerging in the embedded ecosystem.”
