Demo Network #3 Technology providers Key challenges Our demo network supports real innovation helping companies to stay relevant; turning their ideas into ready-to-use smart solutions that create new markets and make a meaningful impact in the society. Global challenges, such as climate change, demand flexible and adaptive governance approaches to deal with risk and uncertainty, moving from reactive managements, to preventive and predictive ones based on a real-time informed decision support system. The so-called Digital Transformation also brings fundamental challenges to industries and cities that need to move from isolation to globally connected systems that work together effectively. In short, becoming ‘Smart’ is not just about installing digital interfaces or smart sensors in traditional infrastructures or streamlining systems’ operations. It is also about using technology and data purposefully to make better decisions and deliver better services. In this respect, the lack of common standard APIs and data models, as well as system integration has demonstrated to have an important impact in terms of agility of the processes and business productivity. Our role here is to bring these common standards to the water sector. In particular, the FIWARE ihubs network help companies to make an effective and better usage of ‘data’ with FIWARE, playing also a fundamental role in our ecosystem acting as an enabling force for inter-city and inter-country collaboration, making possible real innovation and the development of sustainable markets in different domains.
