Open APIs for Open Minds

FI-WARE is the Core Platform of the Future Internet that eases the creation of innovative applications, lowering the costs and complexity of serving large numbers of users globally and handling data at a large scale.

FI-WARE seeks to provide a truly open, public and royalty-free set of open specifications that will allow developers, service providers, enterprises and other organizations to develop products that satisfy their needs while still being open and innovative.

FI-WARE will dramatically increase Europe’s Information and Communications Technology competitiveness by introducing an innovative infrastructure that enables cost-effective creation and delivery of versatile digital services, high quality of service and security guarantees.

A working instance of FI-WARE named FI-Lab will be available to developers on the Internet (lab.fi-ware.eu). The FI-Lab environment will not only be where developers can put FI-WARE at work and materialize their ideas. It will become the pillar of a global Open Innovation Ecosystem bringing attractive incentives to the different stakeholders.
