A network of innovation engines for the digital economy

FIWARE iHubs Structure

Innovation means creating new markets and staying relevant. It’s about turning ideas into ready-to-use smart solutions, supporting the creation of new products and services, and consequently, making a meaningful impact in the market or society.

By accessing the iHubs’ services, private companies, public administrations, universities, and research institutions benefit from regional multi-partner cooperation towards innovation, as well as building strong connections, which may help to bring results outside the boundaries of their given region.

One-stop-shop for digital innovation

FIWARE iHubs focus on building communities that will, in turn, enable local digital businesses to thrive not only at a regional but on a global level. They support companies, cities, and developers in their innovation and digitalisation journey by offering easy access to Open Source technologies, business development support, and community building.

The main challenge for companies, cities or territories willing to be more competitive in the current digital economy is the lack of internal resources to access disruptive technologies, tools and solutions.

When knocking on the door of a FIWARE iHub with an idea in mind, rest assured that you won’t leave empty-handed. Rather, you will leave with a way forward.
