Dear Marcel, Thank you for your interest in the FIWARE Acceleration Programme. Your idea is innovative indeed. If you are considering transfering this idea to the agricultural sector, namely in shared use and maintenance of agricultural machinery by farmers, then FRACTALS could be a very good fit for you, since eligible solutions include (among others): Solutions that support novel business models in agricultural sector (i.e. resources sharing, machinery as a service, etc.). Colleagues from other accelerators (ie Smart Cities) could also give comments if your idea fits to their calls.
