Today • Technology (The FIWARE platform + Sector specific platforms) • People (Innovation ecosystems) 1 FIWARE: An application is based on a set of GEs + SEs + additional application-specific software components SMART Agrifood Apps SMART City Apps SMART Factory Apps Domain specific enablers GEs FIWARE 2 FIWARE enters the Take-up Phase: From Innovation to the Market Technology Focus • FI-WARE technology foundation • 8 Use-Cases from different domains • Infrastructure repository XIPI Market Focus Large Scale Trials Phase2 • FIWARE Hackathons • 16 FIWARE Accelerators • FI-Lab extension Europe-wide (17) • More than 1000 SMEs & web entrepreneurs develop apps & svs • 5 Large Scale Trials in different domains • Sustainability • Market Visibility Development Phase 1 Market Take-up Phase 3 Today 60 Generic Enablers >100 Specific Enablers 3 FIWARE Mundus: The Path to a Global Future Internet Ecosystem Mobilizing worldwide players and decision makers towards the Future Internet FIWARE: born in Europe, but to become global! • FIWARE Regions and innovation hubs are being kicked off all around Europe and beyond • FIWARE goals, vision & strategy is being embraced in several regions all over the world, e.g., Mexico, Brazil, Chile… International & Regional 4 FIWARE Mundus: Cooperation opportunities in Europe and beyond Selecting and setting up FIWARE Regions and local innovation hubs Set up a sustainable FIWARE ecosystem together with the decision makers and the players of the innovation ecosystem in FIWARE regions Support decision makers i.e. local and regional authorities, innovation agencies, industry clusters, accelerators, incubators, etc. to mobilize the innovation ecosystem (SMEs, start-ups, web entrepreneurs) so as to develop new products, solutions, applications around FIWARE In Europe, help regional ecosystems access European funds for innovation, in particular in relation with the Smart Specialization Strategy; and support local selected innovation hubs International cooperation Setting up new FIWARE Lab nodes and FIWARE innovation ecosystems around the globe Cooperating in terms of exchanging knowledge about FIWARE and its usage Sharing best practices and research directions in the Future Internet 5 FIWARE Lab nodes expansion 17 FIWARE Lab nodes • Currently 17 nodes in Europe providing up to 3000+ cores, 16TB+ Ram, 750TB+ HD And up to 19 by the end of Q1 2015 • 1 new node being set up in Europe (Messina, Italy) • 1 node in Mexico providing 1200+ cores …and more to follow! • Discussions with several European regions and with Brazil and Chile already started • And other regions and countries with high potential 6 FIWARE Mundus: Approach to European Regions Pre-selected “FIWARE Regions” Innovation Hubs selected via open calls A study was performed over 180 regions • Objective: identify the most relevant regions, which can support and mobilize their innovation ecosystem to develop new applications and services with FIWARE • Selection criteria: • ICT as one of the top smart specialisation topics • European ICT Pole of Excellence (EIPE) • Already involved with FIWARE (experiments, nodes, accelerators) • Active ICT cluster(s) European regions pre-selected as candidates for “FIWARE Regions” Innovation Hubs (Open Call #1) 7 FIWARE Mundus: Regional Engagement - The Process (1/2) 1 Identify the key regional policy and business organisations and check their interest in setting up a sustainable FIWARE ecosystem with potential regional funding 2 Validate the innovation ecosystem able to adopt FIWARE to develop innovative applications, products and solutions 3 Identify the structure/ organisation able to host and to operate the FIWARE platform i.e. to becoming a FIWARE Lab node The benefit of working with FIWARE Mundus: Get support to mobilize regional and national stakeholders using the taxonomy established by FIWARE Mundus Get support to mobilize all the relevant players i.e. ICT Clusters, accelerators, incubators, industry, research...; get training and support from FIWARE Get support to identify the relevant existing platforms / test beds through the XiPi portal; get support for training and joining the FIWARE Lab federation of nodes 8 FIWARE Mundus: Regional Engagement - The Process (2/2) 4 5 Define the sustainable business model of operating the FIWARE platform and ecosystem (cost of the implementation, cost of exploitation and maintenance) Prepare an opportunity document and share it with all parties involved 6 Get the engagement/ commitment of all parties involved The benefit of working with FIWARE Mundus: Get support to mobilize regional and national funding; get support to access European funding (smart specialization strategy, structural funds, etc.) 7 Get support to prepare this document Get support to prepare a contractual/political agreement Your region becomes a FIWARE Region! You will get visibility as an innovative region, easier access to European funding, share best practices with other FIWARE Regions... Note: this process may be refined after the first set of meetings. It could also be applicable to international cooperation when the regions/countries are willing to adopt FIWARE 9 FIWARE Mundus: Regional Engagement - Status First step: validate stage 1 to 3 i.e. willingness, ecosystem, node with pre-selected regions • Meetings already held with Brittany and PACA regions in France, Basque country in Spain, Berlin region in Germany, Emilia-Romagna in Italy, South East Ireland, Helsinki, and Porto/Norte region • Meetings with Poznan in Poland (Wielkopolska Region), with Andalucía and Lombardy Regions – meetings are planned in Q2 2015 …and prepare second step to become a FIWARE Region • Interaction with JRC / S3 for the Smart Specialization Strategy initiative at EU level • Interaction with European Cluster Observatory, eDIGIREGION • Interaction set up with FIWARE and the innovation hubs (I3H) • Interaction with Vanguard Initiative (Asturias, Baden-Wurttemberg, Catalonia, Basque, Lombardy, …) • Interaction with the European Commission in order to analyse the possibility to use the structural funds • Interaction with Open&Agile Smart City initiative (Defining city SDKs based on FIWARE plus standard data models defined using “driven by implementation approach”) 10 FIWARE Mundus: International Engagement (1/2) - Latin America First international activities kicked off in Mexico First contacts with Uruguay and Peru • Progress with Peruvian authorities who are willing to hold further meetings around FIWARE • Uruguayan representatives expressed their intention to connect to the Mexican node Other LatAm countries • Initial contacts have been made with Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, and Colombia • Interest from Argentina • Public authorities engaged and involved • Setup of a FIWARE node in Mexico is a reality (1200+ cores by Q1 2015) • Action plan in place: promotion of FIWARE within funding programmes targeted to startups/entrepreneurs in Mexico, identification of Mexican cities which will publish their open data and APIs on the FIWARE Lab Initial activities with Chile and Brazil • Progress with authorities and an R&D center devoted to Future Internet and FIWARE in Chile • Contacts with authorities in Brazil 11 FIWARE Mundus: International Engagement (2/2): Other Countries Canada: considering using FIWARE along with the Canadian SAVi as potential foundations for Smart City Platforms Japan: a study group could be set up USA: US Ignite is considering using FIWARE as a platform for the development of Future Internet applications devoted to Smart Cities Africa: contacts with Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mauritius, FIWARE nodes should be hosted at Sonatel and Mauritius Telecom by end of 2015 FIWARE Mundus will be presented at IST-Africa 2015 and at Connecting West Africa 2015. • Rest of the World: preliminary contacts with Korea, Singapore, India • In addition à Interaction with other projects: JEUPISTE, FESTIVAL (Japan); CONECTA2020 (Latin America), CHOICE (China) 12 Do you want to participate?
