What is Fiware?

Let’s start with the beginning, Fiware is a platform of the European Union that is characterized by the development and global deployment of IoT applications. The development is located in the Cloud Hosting and seeks to implement services for the rapid development of applications in a wide range of sectors. There are three levels within the Fiware architecture: applications, service development and data delivery.

Fiware Zone: Sevilla and Málaga at the head of IoT

One of the characteristics of this project is the collaboration between public and private companies. In this way, private companies like Telefónica join forces together with the Junta de Andalucía or the Seville Town Hall. As a result of this collaboration exist these types of initiatives that aim to improve society through innovative and technological initiatives. 

Similarly, in Malaga was held last December the first summit called Fiware Summit. In this event, Secmotic was present, which already appears in the Hall of Fame of FIWARE by the adoption of its technology.
