NEW: FI-WARE workshop at Future Internet Assembly (FIA) 8-10 May in Dublin
The FI-WARE project (Core Platform of the FI PPP) is organizing a workshop in the context of the next edition of the Future Internet Assembly on 7 May in Dublin. The workshop will last around 3 hours (from 14:30 to 17:30) and attendees will get an overview of the technical achievements of FI-WARE, highlighting major competitive advantages with respect to existing solutions in the market and the way all these resources and assets (Generic Enablers, Testbed, Open Innovation Lab…) can be used by the development community to create Future Internet-enabled applications and services.
The workshop will count on speakers coming from the FI-WARE environment, but also projects and stakeholders (from outside the project) that are already using FI-WARE Generic Enablers or plan to use them. Practical experiences as well as our roadmaps to bring developers and entrepreneurs to the FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab will be shared with the audience.
The Irish Presidency will host the next FIA conference as a three-days event, starting on Wednesday, 8 May 2013 and ending on Friday, 10 May 2013.
FIA Dublin will focus on how European Future Internet research and innovation will support EU's competitiveness and enable a new wave of technologies at the eve of Horizon 2020. FIA Dublin will be framed around two major lines:
European competitiveness: towards a strong, diversified and competitive EU Future Internet industrial base, with high innovation performance in global markets
European research & innovation: towards a more effective exploitation of EU Future Internet research results from industry, academia and research institutes.
