[Fiware-wpa] Your support to the future of FI-WARE_Help identifying Funding Agencies

[De-Lama Sanchez, Nuria]

Hi Juanjo, all,

If you have read my previous e-mail, then you have the context to understand this e-mail, which I consider very important for the future of FI-WARE deployment and usage.

As you know, besides the ongoing discussions with Brazil and Mexico, the EC really wants to push other Member States to invest seriously on this and ensure that SME and other players get access to the FI-WARE technologies and FI-LAB.
In order to create some demand the idea is to provide incentives at national level, for example, by providing funding to those proposals that include FI-LAB.

Check the e-mail below and come back to me with the list of funding agencies in your countries that could be contacted for this purpose.

The invitation will be made by the EC, of course. But let's help in speeding up the process.

Your answers by Thursday next week. On Friday I will come back to the EC.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or doubts. Best regards,

Nuria

Dear Nuria,

It was a pleasure to meet you in Athens.

Your presentation at the FIF meeting was quite interesting and the delivery quite enthusiastic! Really appreciated!

Following up our conversation on the way back to Brussels, I would greatly appreciate if you could help identifying ALL potential Funding Agencies in the Member/Associated States - at least in those where you (FI-WARE/FI-CORE) have partners.

The idea is to organize a meeting with them to inform them about FI-WARE/FI-LAB/FI-OPS - you will be certainly invited! - so that they can consider, even recommend, their use in their calls.

Would you be able to have a preliminary list by end of next week, 4 April?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best Regards,
Jorge _____________________________________________________
