    Through the active engagement of FIWARE in several international
    innovation initiatives, promoted within the context of the FIWARE
    Mundus programme, close contacts have been established in North
    America with various key players both in the USA and in Canada, so
    as to promote FIWARE worldwide.

    Specific focus has been dedicated to explore concrete opportunities
    in the Smart Cities domain, which is a key vertical segment where
    FIWARE adoption has become increasingly relevant. In this context,
    as an important step forward, FIWARE has been invited to join the
    SmartCity 360° Summit, which is a world-wide event taking place
    simultaneously in Bratislava (Slovakia) and Toronto (Canada), during
    October 13-15, 2015.

    The Toronto event, to be held on the 14-15 October, will be held
    jointly with i-Canada’s World Future Cities Summit, which focuses on
    economic, social, and political aspects of Smart Cities, and
    selected representatives will be there to present and demonstrate
    the potential of FIWARE as an open innovation platform enabling
    smart cities services and applications.

    Couple of FIWARE presentations and demonstrations have been
    scheduled. Jacques Magen (InterInnov) and Silvio Cretti (CREATE-NET)
    will present /"FIWARE, the open environment for the development of
    smart cities applications" /during the session focusing on
    international research activities - the preliminary programme
    <http://smartcity360.org/2015/program-to/> can be found on-line. The
    presentation will provide an overview of *FIWARE*, an open
    initiative aiming to create a sustainable ecosystem to grasp the
    opportunities that will emerge with the new wave of digitalization
    caused by the integration of recent Internet technologies. Silvio
    Cretti will also be part of the "Panel on smart city challenge and
    opportunities" to explain and discuss with the audience how FIWARE
    (http://fiware.org) provides cities and their stakeholders with an
    environment that can help them replicate smart cities solutions and
    services that are efficient and scalable.

    Selected FIWARE demonstrations will also be shown during a special
    “demo walk-through” at the end of the 15 October to selected
    representatives from Canadian and US cities.

    Stay tuned for more details coming up soon!
