by Silvio Cretti - FIWARE, una piattaforma cloud open source supportata da diverse industrie europee, ha lanciato da pochi mesi il suo programma di accelerazione che mette a disposizione 80 Milioni di Euro per chi crea una start-up o un nuovo prodotto usando FIWARE. In questa talk presenteremo la piattaforma FIWARE, il suo ecosistema e il programma di accelerazione. La prima call per molti acceleratori scade a metà dicembre, ma ci saranno altre call a primavera, un’occasione da non perdere!

The EC is making a strong bet on FIWARE
• Neelie Kroes launched FIWARE LAB at Campus Party
Europe in London (full speech here)
– “FIWARE is one way we are levelling a playing field: a project
to make innovative technologies available for all.”
– “Smart cities are a great example … They create platforms,
and use them, making open data and applications available –
to citizens, to developers, to innovators, to come up with yet
more ideas … and this is where initiatives like the FIWARE LAB
come in. Led by industry, this is a major investment in generic
technology.”
• She also made a reference to FIWARE LAB at the launch
of the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities (full speech
here)
– “Just earlier this week I launched the Future Internet lab …
That's something that you can turn into real results, real jobs,
and real innovation. European platforms helping European
innovation in European cities.”
