The evolution of the Future Internet research, experimentation and innovation landscape creates new opportunities for collaboration among players and stakeholders from research, industry and SMEs, smart cities and regions, and innovation intermediaries. Synergies should be explored between initiatives and programs such as FIRE, EIT ICT Labs, FI-PPP, the new 5G PPP initiative, Smart Cities and Living Labs as well as national research networking initiatives (Géant) and Future Internet initiatives worldwide. The upcoming Horizon 2020 program provides a multi-year framework to strengthen cross-links between actors and communities and building and exploiting new forms of cooperation. In this cooperation, FIRE aims at fulfilling a specific role as the research and innovation “engine” of the evolving European Future Internet ecosystem.
