FI-PPP Session

Future Internet Public Private Partnership

The Future Internet Public Private Partnership (FI-PPP) aims to advance Europe’s competitiveness in Future Internet technologies and systems and to support the emergence of Future Internet-enhanced applications of public and social relevance. It addresses the need to make public service infrastructures and business processes significantly smarter (i.e. more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable) through tighter integration with the Internet infrastructure and computing capabilities.

The FI-PPP aims to increase the effectiveness of business processes and of the operation of infrastructures supporting applications in sectors such as transport, health, or energy, and to derive innovative and viable business models in these sectors, strengthening the competitive position of European industry in domains like telecommunication, mobile devices, software and services, content provision and media.

The FI-PPP follows an industry-driven, holistic approach encompassing R&D on network and communication infrastructures, devices, software, service and media technologies; and their experimentation and validation in real application contexts. It brings together the demand and supply sides, and also requires involving users early into the research lifecycle. The platform to be developed will thus be used by many actors, in particular by SMEs and public administration services, to validate the technologies in the context of smart applications and their viability to support “user driven” innovation schemes.

In this session we highlight the service aspect of the FI-PPP by introducing three important use case domains in the program.
