FIWARE is an open source platform for building smart applications and solutions for smart cities. It provides common data models and APIs to allow vertical solutions and third party apps to access and share city data and platform services. Case studies demonstrate how FIWARE enables smart parking and multi-city dashboards using its core Orion Context Broker component and NGSI APIs. FIWARE aims to make cities smarter through its open, interoperable approach and large community of cities, startups and other stakeholders collaborating around its standards.

2. Introduction

3. 2
Smart City .- A horizontal concept in a world of verticals
Efficiency Sustainability
Healthier /
Happier
Urban Living
Transparency

4. Vertical solutions .- A temptation with many drawbacks
• Vendor lock-in
• Inefficient silos. Non-scalable.
• Monolithic. Closed. 3rd party innovation is not favored.
• Collaboration (internal and external) is difficult to achieve.

5. Can we make cities smarter using a common, horizontal
infrastructure on which different verticals / 3d party apps
can live and share platform services and data?
