Menton, France
The FIWARE Global Summit 2026 returns to Europe — this time to the sun-drenched shores of Menton on the French Riviera.
For almost a decade, the Summit has brought together the community behind FIWARE. This year, the focus is on that foundation — the technology itself, the people who use, advance, and champion it, and the conversations that move the ecosystem forward.
Two days of technical sessions, workshops, and deep community exchange await. Come ready to connect, contribute, and shape what comes next.
The 2026 edition is organized with the collaboration and support of Ville de Menton, CARF (Communauté d’agglomération de la Riviera Française), l’Office de Tourisme de la Ville de Menton, and EGM, MNX Online, and TOURiLab.
About Menton
On France’s Côte d’Azur, minutes from the Italian border and Nice’s international airport, Menton sits at a natural crossroads between countries, cultures, and ideas. Its scale makes it a natural setting for a focused, community-driven Summit — in a country that is one of Europe’s most active voices in the push for open standards, data sovereignty, and smarter digital infrastructure.

From NGSI-LD Fundamentals to FIWARE Dataspaces
Alongside the two-day Summit, EGM and SEAMWARE are organizing a hands-on training day on September 8, open to all Summit attendees at no additional cost. A practical introduction to FIWARE’s core concepts, moving from NGSI-LD fundamentals to real-world dataspace implementation, run bilingually.
The essentials of the NGSI-LD API for digital twin / context management and data modeling principles. Participants gain a solid understanding of how to structure and exchange interoperable, contextualised digital twin / context data.
The key building blocks of a FIWARE-based dataspace, and how they enable trusted data sharing across organizations and systems.
Whether you’re a developer, architect, or project leader, this session combines conceptual grounding with practical insight to help accelerate the deployment of interoperable smart solutions.
