FIWARE Foundation

The FIWARE iHubs are innovation centres that promote the adoption of open source FIWARE platform technologies to support digitalisation, business development and leadership through community building, training, and educational activities. The main objective of the FIWARE iHubs network is to address the traditional barriers for business expansion of SMEs and large companies, by providing innovative technologies and an ecosystem that connects them to their target markets.

The objective of the Focus is to collect perspective, lesson learned and best practices as well as the (actual) performance in the projects. All the partners are of CEF projects invited to be part part of the Focus Group.

FIWARE iHubs focuses on matchmaking market solutions with internal challenges, accelerating the development, use and commercialization of FIWARE solutions, and nurturing a culture of digital innovation and collaboration at a local level. We understand that the driving force of the data economy is the collaboration between the many players in society, not just a single individual or company.

During this workshop, the FIWARE team will provide to the attendees an overview of the upcoming call in Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programs. Besides, we will organise a brainstorming session in groups to discuss embryonic ideas for proposals and exchange interest amongst participants to be part of joint consortiums. Join us and do not miss the opportunity to be engaged in future research and innovation projects.

This session will present eight market drivers that will present the first of its kind whitepaper on Data Spaces for Smart Cities and Territories, Mobility and other economic sectors, who will describe the why, what and how of Data Spaces, trends of the future of Data Spaces and present unique use cases that are already creating the real value for all.
