The FIWARE Global Summit 2026 returns to Europe, this time to the sun-drenched shores of Menton on the French Riviera.
For almost a decade, the Summit has brought together the community behind FIWARE. This year, the focus is on that foundation — the technology itself, the people who use, advance, and champion it, and the conversations that move the ecosystem forward.
Two days of technical sessions, workshops, and deep community exchange await. Come ready to connect, contribute, and shape what comes next.
The 2026 edition is organized with the collaboration and support of Ville de Menton, CARF (Communauté d’agglomération de la Riviera Française), l’Office de Tourisme de la Ville de Menton, and EGM.

About Menton
On France’s Côte d’Azur, minutes from the Italian border and Nice’s international airport, Menton sits at a natural crossroads between countries, cultures, and ideas. Its scale makes it a natural setting for a focused, community-driven Summit — in a country that is one of Europe’s most active voices in the push for open standards, data sovereignty, and smarter digital infrastructure.

Main Topics
Take a sneak peek at the main topics of our agenda.
Talks & showcases, powered by the community
Opening the Summit, keynotes, speeches, and showcases put the community’s work centre stage. This is your chance to see what’s being built across the ecosystem and hear where FIWARE is headed next, straight from the people at its heart.
Technical tracks, straight from the source
Curated by the FIWARE Technical Steering Committee, the technical tracks put you in the room with the people driving FIWARE forward — for the latest developments and a first look at the roadmap. Explore sessions across Digital Twins, Data Spaces, AI, and Robotics.
From NGSI-LD Fundamentals to FIWARE Dataspaces
Alongside the two-day Summit, EGM and Seamware are organizing a hands-on training day on September 8 open to all Summit attendees at no additional cost.
This full-day training offers a practical introduction to FIWARE’s core concepts, moving from NGSI-LD fundamentals to real-world dataspace implementation. The day runs bilingually: the morning is in French, the afternoon in English.
Morning (French) — led by EGM: The essentials of the NGSI-LD API for digital twin/context management and data modeling principles. Participants will gain a solid understanding of how to structure and exchange interoperable and contextualised digital twin/context data.
Afternoon (English) — led by Seamware: The key building blocks of a FIWARE-based dataspace, and how they enable trusted data sharing across organizations and systems.
Whether you’re a developer, architect, or project leader, this session combines conceptual grounding with practical insight to help accelerate the deployment of interoperable smart solutions.
