The TM Forum, an international network of stakeholders from 66 countries committed to innovation, and the Fiware Foundation have just selected the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis and ten other large cities as pilot areas for a new major global cooperation program between smart cities, titled the “Front-runner Smart Cities” program.
The other selected cities are Vienna (Austria), Nice, Saint Quentin (France), Genoa (Italy), Utrecht (Netherlands), Porto (Portugal), Santander, Valencia (Spain), Gothenburg (Sweden), La Plata (Argentina), and Montevideo (Uruguay).
This new program will define a new benchmark standard for Smart City data; the work will begin on November 28 in Malaga on the occasion of the Fiware Summit, and an initial publication of the model is expected in the spring of 2019.
