Phase 2 provides €0.5-2 million grants covering 70% of costs for demonstration and prototyping projects lasting 1-2 years. Phase 3 does not provide direct funding but supports commercialization. There are four cut-off dates per year to apply. Proposals should use graphics and easy-to-read text to convince evaluators of commercial potential and technical feasibility. Resubmissions are common before projects receive funding.

1. Getting customers requires generating leads through teasers, building a customer database, and contacting leads daily with a goal of leads per week/month. Meeting customers yourself is important to understand their problems and needs.
2. Retaining customers involves keeping in contact through newsletters and social media, showing continued interest, addressing cancellations, offering additional services, maintaining brand image, and rewarding loyalty.
3. Pricing a product requires calculating costs of development, production, marketing, and profit to reflect customer value and competition while covering expenses.
#FIWAREPamplona - Training day - Open and agile smart cities. A technical int...Miguel García González
This document discusses open and agile smart cities. It begins by outlining the principles of the Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative, which are driven by implementation and focus on common APIs, data models, and open data platforms. It then provides details on existing open standards like NGSI and CKAN that OASC utilizes. Next, it describes how context and sensor data can be integrated using NGSI and visualized. Finally, it outlines OASC participation and technical steps going forward like defining shared data models and an open data marketplace.
The document summarizes the Open Data Incubator Europe (ODINE) program, which provides funding and support to startups working with open data. Specifically:
- ODINE has supported 51 startups, generated over €8 million in sales and investment, and created 200+ jobs.
- It is a Horizon 2020 project that provides €5.5 million in grants over 2 years to support 50-70 startups across the EU.
- Eligible startups are from EU countries, associated countries, and have a 6 month incubator program providing funding, mentoring, and other resources.
The document summarizes a campaign to promote the "My FIWARE Story" website and share FIWARE community projects and experiences. It provides analytics on the performance of social media ads and engagement campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn from November to December 2015. It also summarizes a "FIWARE Success Stories Week" campaign in February 2016 that featured the startup Hostabee daily on social media and concluded with a blog post on the FIWARE website. The data showed Twitter was most effective at reaching audiences while Facebook had higher engagement. Paid campaigns on Twitter performed better than organic posts. The February campaign was successful at driving traffic to the FIWARE website.
#FIWAREPamplona - Training Day - Tips for an efficient Marketing StrategyMiguel García González
This document provides tips and strategies for an efficient marketing approach in light of digital innovations like social media. It discusses how most marketers believe they need to reinvent their brand building strategies and that social media has fundamentally changed how consumers engage with brands. The document then provides examples of how big brands like Coca-Cola, Nike, and Apple define themselves through their target customers, enduring ideas, experiences, points of differentiation. It also outlines questions around defining one's target customer, category, unique benefit, competition, and positioning. The remainder of the document discusses inbound marketing strategies around community engagement, traffic generation, conversion and profiling, loyalty, and synchronization of efforts.
This document outlines a communication strategy for promoting FIWARE and its success stories through storytelling. It proposes moving from promoting projects and aspirations to sharing real use cases and tangible results. The strategy involves highlighting credible success stories on the FIWARE website and through social media, blogs, videos and events. It also emphasizes engaging SMEs that have built solutions on FIWARE to share their own stories and experiences through their own communication channels. The goal is to demonstrate the sustainability and credibility of FIWARE through proven implementations and testimonials from the community.
This document provides an overview of Generic Enablers in the FIWARE platform. It describes Generic Enablers as reusable building blocks that provide common functions across multiple use cases and sectors. The Generic Enablers are divided into 7 technical chapters including data management, interfaces to devices, security, and applications. Each chapter contains several specific Generic Enablers that provide functions like data analysis, device connectivity, identity management, and marketplaces. The document also introduces Specific Enablers which are similar to Generic Enablers but offer domain-specific functions for areas like manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities.
The document discusses the FIWARE Context Broker and how it can be used to manage context information at scale. The Context Broker allows applications to query, subscribe to changes in, and modify context information represented by entity-attribute-value triples. It supports common operations like creating and updating context data, querying context by ID or attribute, and subscribing to receive notifications when context changes. Examples are provided of managing sensor data from rooms by representing temperature and pressure as attributes of entity types like "Room".
HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.
