Dear community,

In FIWARE Mundus we are thrilled to echo the following announcement 
published by NIST as part of our partnership in the initiative Global 
City Teams Challenge. The *FIWARE GCTC Challenge* represents an 
outstanding opportunity to achieve cross-border cooperation between 
North America and Europe. All the information is available in the 
*website <https://www.fiware.org/GCTC_2017>*, but we are also 
facilitating a specific email address for any type of inquiry: 
fiware-gctc-challenge at lists.fiware.org. On top of that, a FIWARE Team 
will be attending the GCTC Expo next August 28-29 at Washington DC.

We encourage you to spend some time to see the details and share the 
news among your local community and social media. It will be great to 
reach out as many interested participants as possible.

Thank you for your priceless support,

Jacques Magen, Jose Gonzalez and the FIWARE Mundus Team
