FI‐IMPACT actively disseminated its results and AcceleratorachievementsthroughnewsarticlesontheFI‐IMPACT1andFIWARE2websites,Twitter3andBasecamp.

FI‐IMPACT is leveraging a web presence tosupport necessary data collection fromAccelerators and sub‐grantees required byWP2 and WP3 activities as well asdisseminating results and deliverables. Thewebsite includes a framework to supportaccounts being set up, a data collectionframework (to support WP2 and WP3)including import of data provided byAcceleratorsandintegratedwizardtofacilitatedata collection from sub‐grantees based on aunique URL and log in access and a publicFuture Internet Library to provide thecommunity with relevant links and resources(content collected through T4.1).

During theworking sessions on 28November, thebrainstormingwith theAccelerators facilitated identificationofspecific support requirements of interest, the information exchange approach and actions points. The sessions covered aspects such as: ways to make Accelerators’ data available to FI‐IMPACT (e.g., access to the submission platform, NDA requirements), calendar and key milestones for FI‐IMPACT to collect and process the data, support to double‐submission detection, Accelerators involvement in design and usage of the FI‐IMPACT self‐assessment tool.

Thisyear’sWebSummit inDublinwas larger inscale thanpreviousevents,withover20,000 participants reported by the organisers. With a number of new streams indifferent thematicareas, therewascertainlysomething foralmostanyone.Admittedlysome of these new summits were much shorter in duration than other morelongstandingstreams.

The primary challenge of this event was balancing the interests of participants withthose who were presenting and/or sponsoring the event. While many of thepresentations were of interest both to entrepreneurs and the general public with aninterest in keeping up to date with technology, the quality of interventions varied




considerably according to the individual presenters and themoderators of the singleintervention. Each time slot was focused on one or two presenters, typically with amoderatorfromtheworldofblogging,journalismortelevision.

Paul Cunningham, FI‐IMPACT, raised awareness of FIWARE and the grant fundingcurrently available from the 16 Phase 3 Accelerators over the 3 days. There were asignificantnumberofexhibitorsacross thedifferentRDSvenuesused for theSummit.Although there was limited awareness of FIWARE or FI‐PPP Phase 3 before thatmeeting,theexhibitorsanddelegateswereinterestedinlookingatthisfurther.
