Three demo networks - Latest updates

#1 Eastern Europe: Cities and water utilities

A series of webinars is on-going 3 cities in Romania, Hungaria and Serbia to explain the potential of F4W activities for them in the future and to establish a social and political consensus on water digitization. The first webinar took place on 3 November, involving end-users in the water sector (municipalities, water utilities, authorities, citizens) and solution providers (technology solution providers, SMEs, IT clusters and developers). The involvement of universities has also been discussed.

#2 INBO: International Network of Basin Organisations

A webinar will take place this Tuesday 10 November at 2.30pm. Topic of this interactive workshop is the following: "How water digital innovations can benefit to River Basin Organisations? The on-going experience of Fiware4Water”. The goal is to raise awareness about the project and the F4W platform.

#3 FIWARE innovation hubs: Innovators

F4W challenges are currently being organised by FIWARE partners with the objective to boost SME innovation. It will be a technical challenge, not really a hackatton although with the same spirit, since applicants will have 3 months to propose solutions. Three of the four F4W Demo Cases (water utilities) will propose a challenge with dataset to be used by applicants with one condition: find a solution to address the challenge expressed by using the F4W platform. Organisation of the challenges will be explained to the Fiware ecosystems during a Wednesday webinar in December and the challenges will be officially launched in January 2021.
