Dear iHubs committee members,

one great news to share with you about FIWARE usage in our region:
Faubourg Numérique is part of the SCIFI project that has just been approved to be funded (60%) by the Interreg 2 Seas<http://www.interreg2seas.eu/en> programme.

SCIFI = "Smart Cities Innovation Framework Implementation"  (see the SCIFI project poster<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7pzt1H6oSuBd3N2bDlaTzVDYV9WUGZhNWUzdlBtVmZTams0/view?usp=sharing>)

The project is based on OASC principles<http://www.oascities.org/faq/>, implementing open innovation 2.0<https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/policies/open-innovation> acceleration framework in 5 mid-sized cities (including rural areas):
Mechelen (B), Brugge (B), Delft (NL), Cambridge (UK) and Saint-Quentin (F)

As member of ENoLL<http://www.openlivinglabs.eu/> and initiator of OASC France<http://oasc.fr/> network, Faubourg played an active role in the project definition to introduce open innovation 2.0 and OASC approach in the work packages. And of course, we proposed to use FIWARE as technological basis to implement the pilot projects. This is clearly stated in the "overall objective" section of the presentation of the project on Interreg 2 seas web site:
http://www.interreg2seas.eu/en/smart-cities-innovation-framework-implementation

Now our next challenge is to find complementary - public/private - fundings to upgrade our team and leverage the SCIFI project as an opportunity to progress on our - not so long? - way to join the starry FIWARE iHubs ;)

We would be very happy to get advices / experiences / references from the other incubating FIWARE iHubs about the implementation of this kind of initiative, including the way to engage private fundings and to communicate in an appropriate manner about the use of FIWARE (as open source technology for the SCIFI pilot projects).

Cheerio!
