Dear all, I would like to share with you that last Wednesday I was invited by the EC as speaker to explain FIWARE to a new audience (I attach the agenda). The title of the workshop was "OPEN STANDARDS FOR ICT PROCUREMENT: SHARING OF BEST PRACTICES". I provided an overview of FIWARE as an open platform that avoids lock in (fully aligned with the concept of the workshop) and then some examples of cities where fiware has been adopted, including the particular case of Valencia, where FIWARE was explicitly mentioned in the tender text. The audience included many public sector representatives and responsible people for procurement processes. This is very important, because there is a clear trend towards open solutions. The EC and MS are discussing new clauses that may be included in public procurement and this may lead to the promotion of solutions like FIWARE. Therefore it is great news for future FIWARE adoption. I am also happy to share with you that the very same day I had the opportunity to talk to one of the responsible people for standardization in the CE and he told me that FIWARE will be promoted by the EC as de facto standard for smart cities. If this is consolidated it will be a great achievement!!! I am not talking about the initiative by a unit or a directorate, but a decision at the level of the whole DG CONNECT :). Next week Juanjo, Sergio and I will attend some smart cities activities and may be able to extend this info. CONGRATULATIONS!
