27 November 2015

eChallenges e-2015 took place in Vilnius from 25 - 26 November 2015, bringing together delegates from more than 39 countries. 

Morten Moller, DG CONNECT, presented ICT opportunities under the Horizon 2020 Work Programme in the Opening Plenary.

Paul Cunningham, IIMC, presented FI-IMPACT results during the closing plenary. This provided an opportunity to share insights into the FIWARE Programme and results to date with an international audience. Paul presented findings from the FI-IMPACT Impact Assessment Survey undertaken with FIWARE sub-grantees which provides interesting insights into the business models, target markets and FIWARE enablers being used by the SMEs and entrepreneurs funded by the FIWARE Accelerators. This was a high level of interest among the participants to learn more about FIWARE and the Acceleration Calls.
