Future Internet – Core

FIWARE has started to materialize as a powerful foundation for the Future Internet. FIWARE is an innovative, open cloud-based infrastructure for cost-effective creation and delivery of services, at a scale not seen before. FIWARE is now well under way to successfully achieve its goals of boosting the effectiveness of creating new services of high economic and societal value, reinforcing EU competitiveness and bringing opportunities for high-growth entrepreneurs and SME players.

Now, following an intensive period of research, development and experimentation, the FI-Core Consortium aims to complete the FIWARE vision and support a truly open innovation ecosystem around FI-Lab, a working instance of FIWARE that is distributed across multiple datacenters in Europe and is effectively operated using the suite of FI-Ops tools. In this project, the FI-Core consortium will ensure a globally competitive foundation for Europe’s economy delivering :

  • Technology extensions, introducing new capabilities to the platform
  • Means for platform availability, including the launch of operational FIWARE nodes across Europe with resources and tools to support them, as well as extensive FI-Ware education and training programs for Web entrepreneurs and SMEs
  • Processes and tools for platform sustainability, dissemination of current and on-going results, namely FIWARE, FI-Ops and FI-Lab
