FI-PPP Value for Smart Cities

Nuria de Lama, Representative of Atos Research & Innovation to the EC, Atos (nuria.delama@atos.net)

FI-WARE team

The Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI-PPP)

The aim of the FI-PPP is to ensure that the Future

Internet enables a smarter world, fostering growth,

competitiveness and job creation through

innovation

This requires a generic, open and standard

platform (FI-WARE) and a meeting point around

(FI-LAB) where a dynamic innovation ecosystem can

be created engaging developers and entrepreneurs

Born in Europe but open to regions who share the

same vision

eHealth

tourism

Transport,

Mobility

and

Logistics

e-government

Smart

Energy

Grid

…

Open APIs for Open Minds

What is genuine in the FI-PPP

Commitment for exploitation required:

• Commercial offer in the short term;

• Delivery of results in open source anyway

• Executive Industry Board in action

Better suited to align with roadmap of product developments by partners:

• Industry- and Implementation-driven approach

• Results exploitable in the short-medium term (4-5 years) rather than in the long-term (10-15 years)

Active presence in market-oriented events

targeted to attract:

• Potential customers (including Public Administrations)

• Developers and Entrepreneurs

2

Why are Smart Cities relevant to FI-WARE and

FI-Lab (and the FI-PPP as a whole)

3

Cities are where daily life and businesses

actually happen …

4

And that’s why Smart Cities become so strategic in

paving the way for innovation and ultimately boosting

productivity and growth…

Why are FI-WARE and FI-Lab relevant to

Smart Cities

5

A standard platform is required for sustainability

of Smart Cities

Avoid vendor lock-in:

• Ranging from sensors to applications (open data

and APIs)

• Ability to choose between platform providers

Larger community of potential Application

Providers that fosters competition

• True innovation

• Better prices

Not any standard is enough

• Modularity

• Allow different business models

• Integration with standard open data platform

• Non-intrusive

6

But defining a standard alone is not enough

FI-LAB: going beyond technology, the “meeting point”

where a new Open Innovation ecosystem will be boosted

Smart Cities ecosystem actually emerging

Some cities already connecting to FI-Lab:

• Italy: Trento, Torino, Veneto

• Spain: Seville, Malaga, Santander, Zaragoza

• Finland: Espoo

• Discussion with cities in other countries ongoing

FI-WARE Challenge on Smart Cities:

• Launched end of October

• 300+ teams (individuals, startups, SMEs – few

researchers) applied to the challenge (ES, EN)

• 20 final teams participated to the final in CPBR 14

Smart cities challenge

Winners from Campus Party Brazil

FI-GUARDIAN • Application that supports communication, orientation and warning of adverse

circumstances such as natural disasters

SPARKY • Mobile application and a hardware device to help parking owners share their spaces

while not in use and help drivers find a short or long-term parking place

14

SMART BOX • The main objective is to

"sensorize" cities, obtaining

a huge source of useful

information that consumers

can check from their homes

through a tv screen and a

remote control

Success is only feasible through a strong

Public-Private Partnership

We value the endorsement of the EC

Neelie Kroes launched FI-LAB at Campus Party

Europe in London (full speech here)

• “FI-WARE is one way we are levelling a playing field: a

project to make innovative technologies available for all.”

• “Smart cities are a great example … They create

platforms, and use them, making open data and

applications available – to citizens, to developers, to

innovators, to come up with yet more ideas … and this is

where initiatives like the FI-LAB come in. Led by industry,

this is a major investment in generic technology.”

She also made a reference to FI-LAB at the launch of

the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities (full speech

here)

• “Just earlier this week I launched the Future Internet lab

… That's something that you can turn into real results,

real jobs, and real innovation. European platforms

helping European innovation in European cities.”
