FIWARE Space, un iHUB con estrella

Para cumplir mejor sus propósitos fundacionales, la FIWARE Foundation apoya la creación y la actividad de centros tecnológicos en todo el mundo que se dediquen a la promoción, formación y al uso de tecnologías innovadoras, acciones que por supuesto deben servir para generar nuevos estímulos al crecimiento de empresas y nuevos negocios a nivel local, y para ello creó el programa FIWARE iHubs.

Pero ¿qué es un FIWARE iHub? Pues FIWARE Space de la Diputación de Badajoz es un iHUB, o lo que es lo mismo, un centro de adopción de la tecnología FIWARE, enfocado al ecosistema de negocio, educación e innovación de un área concreta, que en nuestro caso es la provincia de Badajoz.

IHUB FIWARE SPACE

En nuestro centro de Badajoz ofrecemos y facilitamos el acceso de empresas y emprendedores locales a un mercado global, haciendo especial hincapié en la mejora de la competitividad a través de la tecnología y la diversificación de la actividad económica.

Al igual que el de Badajoz, cada uno de los iHubs de la red FIWARE llevan a cabo una serie de actividades para instruir, educar, ayudar y asesorar a las Pymes, StartUps y empresas de su radio de acción. Las actividades se centran principalmente en la promoción de FIWARE a través de eventos, la involucración de la comunidad tecnológica y empresarial local, así como la creación de conexiones entre universidades, empresas, instituciones y gobierno, ofreciendo soporte técnico, consultoría, entrenamiento, capacitación, pruebas y certificación en tecnologías FIWARE.

Cada uno de los iHubs tiene una determinada clasificación en base a los servicios que brinda, su nivel de desarrollo y los servicios que ofrecen. Es por eso que existen iHubs de una, dos y tres estrellas. Además, se establecen iHubs de nivel básico para aquellos que acaban de empezar la actividad, y otros en proceso de incubación, que son los se encuentran en proceso de valoración o pendientes de ser incluidos dentro del programa.

Los iHUBS FIWARE son ya una red que permite crear nuevas conexiones entre empresas, emprendedores e instituciones para compartir conocimiento y experiencias, trabajando así desde lo local en la transformación digital de la sociedad global.

FIWARE Space es un iHUB de una estrella por el que ya han pasado múltiples equipos de investigación, empresas y emprendedores, responsables públicos y ciudadanos de todas las edades y condiciones, con interés por estas nuevas tecnologías, lo que nos anima a seguir trabajando en la mejora y ampliación de nuestros servicios y oferta formativa para poder aspirar a ser pronto uno de los pocos centros FIWARE con dos estrellas de España.

This platform uses the latest technologies promoted by the European Commission about how to integrate near real-time data and how to manage context information.
