[Fiware-associate-members] Marketing Round-up Edition #4 - Let's Stay Connected

[FIWARE Marketing Team]

Hello everyone! Welcome back to a brand new Marketing Round-up email. In
times like these staying connected is not only more important than ever,
but it can also lead to innovative and creative initiatives, opportunities
and processes that can help us to navigate what has become the new normal.
In order to make the Marketing Round-up calls as interactive as possible,
we want to encourage you to share your news, updates, and presence at
events with us. Feel free to contact Charlotte Kotterman
<charlotte.kotterman at fiware.org> whenever you have something you would like
to share with the FIWARE Community.

*Let's stick together, stay connected, and above all, stay safe! *
*SMART CITY IDEAS*

Germany is on the lookout for innovative ideas for Smart Cities!
The Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building, and Community has extended
the deadline for the second wave of its *"Smart Cities in Germany"* Open
Call until 20 May 2020. Various winners of the first batch of applicants
are already using FIWARE. We therefore highly encourage you, if you have a
solution that is scalable and replicable, as well as available as Open
Source or free software, to take part!

*GOING DIGITAL*

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we have had to postpone our FIWARE event in
Berlin with Mindspace, but that has not stopped us from coming up with ways
in which we can replicate the event as best as possible, be it online! Our
online event *"FIWARE: the Open Source Pillar of a Smart Digital Future"*
will now take place on 8 April from 10:00-11:00 AM (CET). Join us for a fun
training session, followed by a Q&A. Registration is free of charge but
required.

*EMPOWER WITH DATA*

Good news this Spring! The European Commission is returning with a *Webinar
Series* on the Context Broker and Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI), two
of its CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) Building Blocks. Both can help you
make sense of the data available through your city's information systems,
and make the right decisions to improve the public services you offer to
your citizens. Data is a strategic asset, and all municipalities should be
able to leverage it. Registration is free of charge but required.

*HANNOVER MESSE*

Most of you may have heard that Hannover Messe, the world's most important
industrial fair, has been canceled for 2020. An unprecedented situation.
But, let us not dwell on the past and instead look toward the future and
focus on the 2021 edition of the event, which is set to take place on *12-16
April 2021*. Until then, we will be doing our best to create a brand new
offer and appealing approach to our upcoming events, of course with the
help of FIWARE members, partners, media and press. We will keep you all
posted.

*SMART ENERGY*

Are you creating, or have you created a Smart Energy solution using FIWARE
Generic Enablers? Then we would like to hear from you! Your inputs will be
used to create a collection of concise case studies, extracting from them
support material to present FIWARE’s Generic Enablers and software
components to help develop *FIWARE-powered Smart Energy solutions*. Particular
focus will be put on highlighting open data models that could facilitate
the first steps in the development of such smart solutions.

*COMMON STANDARDS*

Germany is trying to catch up when it comes to the creation of Smart
Cities. But this will only work with Open Source solutions and common
standards, says FIWARE Foundation CEO Ulrich Ahle in his article for
*Tagesspiegel’s
Background*. The article highlights the Foundation’s standardization
activities with ETSI (NGSI-LD API specifications) and TM Forum, to develop
uniform interfaces and data models toward avoiding data silos and using
public funding efficiently. Read the full German article on the Tagesspiegel

*WORDS OF WISDOM*

Last week we kicked off our brand new series *"Wisdom Across the Board"*,
in which we interview the newest members of the FIWARE Foundation Board of
Directors. It has been a great opportunity to discuss with them the main
challenges, strengths, and opportunities that the future holds for the
Foundation. This week, we caught up with Albert Seubers, Director of Global
Strategy IT in Cities at Atos. Next, we speak to Agustín Cárdenas Fernández
(Telefónica Empresas) and Dilip Hanumara (Trigyn Technologies).

As we all try to embrace the new normal, FIWARE is doing its best to come

above all, safety, of your own home (office). Joining our upcoming webinars
is free of charge but registration is required. While you are at it, also

*TELL YOUR STORY*

Not too long ago we published the first FIWARE Impact Story. The
initiative, which we highly encourage our members to get involved in,
promotes the FIWARE Community on a global scale, free of charge. The
first *FIWARE
Impact Story *on Automotive Smart Factory features Engineering and focuses
on how the FIWARE Reference Architecture for Smart Industry can help reduce
defects in the automotive manufacturing process. Our next Impact Story will
feature the Smart City of Vienna. Stay tuned! Want to be featured? Please
