Berlin, August 26, 2025 – FIWARE Foundation, the non-profit organization that encourages the adoption of open standards using Open Source technologies for the development of smart solutions on a global basis — is launching the FIWARE Growth Partner Program, a new initiative designed to accelerate the expansion, engagement, and sustainability of the global FIWARE Ecosystem.

This program empowers and rewards individuals who actively introduce and support corporate members to FIWARE Foundation while fostering long-term engagement, collaboration, and impact within FIWARE local and global ecosystems. Growth Partners play a vital role in supporting onboarding, activation, and continued participation, ensuring members stay aligned with FIWARE’s mission well into the future, ensuring they remain engaged, connected, and able to unlock opportunities.

“The Growth Partner Program is a significant step in empowering our community to take an active role in shaping the future of FIWARE Foundation and Community. It offers a structured pathway for individuals to contribute to FIWARE’s growth while supporting the engagement and long-term success of our members.”

Alberto Abella, COO of FIWARE Foundation:

“By recognizing individuals who not only bring in new members but also help sustain them through active engagement, collaboration, and opportunities, we are strengthening the foundation of our ecosystem and giving an opportunity to current Members to find new global partnerships and projects.”

The Growth Partner Program is based on six milestones to ensure a fair and transparent process of development:

1. Eligibility: The program is open to all Individual Members of the FIWARE Foundation (membership is free of charge), so-called Growth Partners.
2. Prospect Protection: Registered via FIWARE website prospects (potential new Member) are protected for the referring Growth Partner for up to 6 months, depending on membership level.

6. Sustainability: Both sides – Growth Partners and FIWARE Foundation team provide full support for potential Members ensuring both successful recruitment and meaningful long-term collaboration with existing and new Members. With this program, FIWARE not only recognizes the crucial role of its community but also provides the tools, resources, and incentives to ensure its continuous evolution.
