Project description Expansion of Use Cases Show the project objective Hide the project objective "Startups Optimizing Urban Life with Future Internet (SOUL-FI)" looks for product developers with disruptive ideas that use FI-WARE Generic Enablers to make cities smarter, sustainable and wealthier. The main topics of interest are efficiency in mobility, energy, water, gas, waste, and quality of life. We are looking for the development of products that take advantage of real time information, open and crowd-sourced data. Ideas that potentiate the rapid growth of the Internet of Things are welcomed.SOUL-FI sets up a geographically well-balanced consortium of incubators, accelerators, urban life experts, European networks and crowd founding partners. Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN) a technology transfer, incubator and accelerator that won the Best Science-Based Incubator Award in 2010, will coordinate the project. IPN is also responsible for the National Technology Transfer Initiative with the European Space Agency (ESA) in which it manages open calls to fund firms to develop feasibility studies and demonstrator projects for the transfer of space technologies to non-space markets. The consortium will disseminate the calls for services within the European Union, namely by electronic publication and by the SOUL-FI stakeholders and their associated clusters. The calls for developers will comprise two rounds. In the first round, 100 proposals will be awarded on the basis of a promising innovative idea, addressing how this idea will be boosted by FI-WARE, showing a credible business plan and a proof of concept. The "survivors" from the first round, selected on a go/no go basis, will be encouraged to submit proposals for the second round, where 50 projects are expected to develop a pilot product version 1 using FI-WARE enablers. The granted SMEs and web-entrepreneurs will be supported in the next fundraising efforts, with the help of the SOUL-FI ecosystem of stakeholders.
