FI-PPP-phase-3
Objectives of FI-PPP phase 3

  • Wide take-up of FI-PPP results by SMEs and web-entrepreneurs. This includes the use of FIWARE, an innovative, open cloud-based infrastructure for cost-effective creation and delivery of Future Internet applications and services, and FIWARE Ops, a collection of tools that facilitate deployment, setup, and operation of FI-WARE instances by platform providers.
  • Development of innovative services and applications in different business sectors based on the technologies and platforms developed in the FI-PPP.

Participation opportunities for SMEs to expand use case trials

The FI-PPP programme offers exciting opportunities for innovative organisations, and especially SMEs, to get involved in the programme activities. In phase 3 of the FI-PPP programme, starting in the second half of 2014, 16 new projects will be launched. They will use new mechanisms to give over 80 million euros in grants to SMEs for application developments.

The 16 CP-CSA projects will manage open calls for SMEs and web entrepreneurs to be financially supported for the development of innovation applications and services, based on FI-PPP technologies, across a wide range of societal and industrial sectors.

The 16 selected projects are: CEED Tech, CreatiFI, European Pioneers, FABulous, FI-ADOPT, FI-C3, FICHe, FInish, FINODEX, FRACTALS, frontierCities, IMpaCT, INCENSe, SmartAgriFood, SOUL-FI, and SpeedUp_Europe, and their collective ambition is to have up to 1,600 novel Future Internet applications developed and running by 2016.
