14 Jul The project development “FIWOO” is already under way

The consortium made up of Bosonit, Emergya, JIG and Secmotic has begun to develop FIWOO, a European data-driven open platform for urban IoE apps and services. This project aims to design and develop a data-driven, Internet-of-Everything (IoE) platform for the European cities of Helsinki (Finland), Antwerp (Belgium) and Copenhagen (Denmark).

In response to the Request for Tenders made by SELECT for Cities, the BEJS consortium is looking for enabling large-scale co-creation, testing, and validation of urban IoE apps and services. Accordingly, the strategic goal in this project is to become a lead player in the growing ecosystem of the digital transformation cities. Its participation in this PCP is thus aligned with the following shared objectives:

• • Promote an infrastructure based on open standards for horizontal platforms to overcome the existing fragmentation in the implementation of smart city solutions.
  • Support the use and exchange of open data in an innovative way, addressing security and privacy issues to build trusted solutions to generate new information sources of high added value.
  • Promote the development and adoption of Internet-of-Everything solutions for the deployment of intelligent infrastructures, which are connected to each other and to citizens, easily scalable and replicable in other cities.

The more market, the more competitors

The project expects to produce the following in its three different phases. In the Tender phase, 57 organizations have been presented with 28 proposals. Finally, BEJS consortium has one of the 10 companies, which has been chosen. The consortium are now working hard in the first phase, in which detailed report of the proposed architecture and the platform concept designed will be deliver.

The phase 2 (prototype) and the phase 3 (living labs) are pending on experts valuations of each country.

We hope we have to tell more about this amazing project!
