Real innovation is happening everywhere. Unfortunately, only the consumer-facing (and hobbyist) stuff gets covered here. Arduino, Raspi, etc. are interesting, but not technologically innovative. Their innovation is in addressing poorly-served markets: just as important, but not quite the same thing.
The "internet of things" is interesting from a consumer perspective. I've been involved in it for a few years in terms of being able to remotely monitor and diagnose complex equipment. There's a long list of companies with lots of dollars behind them that want to get started in this arena and don't know how. I suspect that this is soon going to be a hot area of consulting.
Just look at what businesses like Axeda have been doing for the last 10 years if you want to see where industry is heading.
