Last November, we gathered in Málaga, Spain for the Tech Summit, which was devoted to the advances of, and new implementations in the FIWARE Open Source Platform, hereby shining the spotlight on our growing community of developers. Now, a year after meeting in Utrecht, the Netherlands, we will be heading to the “northern capital” of Portugal, Porto, for the FIWARE Global Summit, where we look forward to welcoming developers, entrepreneurs, political decision-makers, thought leaders, business executives and investors from across the globe, from both the FIWARE ecosystem and beyond, on the 8th and 9th of May.

The FIWARE Global Summit will provide the perfect opportunity to exchange views and developments on how Smart IoT and Open Data solutions can be implemented in the areas of Industry 4.0, Agriculture, and Smart Cities. With its global focus, the event aims to present its vision on both the activation of local technological and entrepreneurial ecosystems, as well as the worldwide reach of the Community. Whether you’re looking to get access to state-of-the-art service providers or meet potential public and private partners, want to find out how FIWARE tech can enhance the portability and interoperability of your solution, or share up-to-date knowledge about Open Data technology; believe us when we say, the Global Summit will be the event you won’t want to miss.

To further strengthen the dimension of FIWARE as a Marketplace of solutions and services, as well as a breeding ground for innovative projects to scale-up, we will, in turn, be organizing our first Investors’ Forum in Porto, a not to be missed opportunity for new startups and SMEs to network and connect with investors, corporates and municipalities. Companies already using FIWARE will have the chance to share their achievements and solutions in order to obtain support, whilst bigger companies and investors will meet fresh talent and gain new business opportunities. You have until Friday, February 16th to sign up to take part in the Investors Forum.
