Back in August, FIWARE Foundation officially launched the FIWARE Growth Partner Program, an initiative designed to foster growth, strengthen, and energize the global FIWARE Community.
The program highlights and supports individuals who bring new corporate members into FIWARE Foundation and help them maximize their involvement in the ecosystem. These Growth Partners are key to welcoming newcomers, guiding them through their first steps, and keeping them actively involved, ensuring that members stay connected to FIWARE’s mission and continue to create a meaningful impact across the globe.
Today, we are pleased to announce our first three Growth Partners, dedicated partners who are already driving collaboration, innovation, and growth throughout the FIWARE network.
