The Digitising European Industry (DEI) strategy aims to reinforce EU's competitiveness in digital technologies and ensure that any industry in Europe, big or small, wherever situated and in any sector can fully benefit from digital innovations. One pillar of the strategy is to setup a pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH), to broadly foster and disseminate digital innovation.

Fed4FIRE+ is an Integrating Project under the European Union’s Programme Horizon 2020, addressing the work programme topic Future Internet Research and Experimentation. It started in January 2017 and will run for 60 months, until the end of September 2021.

The H2020 project ElasTest aims at assisting companies developing large scale complex distributed systems to create a testing ecosystem that enables them to reduce time-to-market and ship software products that are more robust while at the same time increase the productivity of developers and testers.

Federating Japanese and European 5G Testbeds to Explore Relevant Standards and Align Views on 5G Mobile Network Infrastructure Supporting Dynamic Creation and Management of Network Slices for Different Mobile Services.

The 5G-ready Trial Platform is one of two projects of the Fraunhofer-Institutes FOKUS and HHI. It will provide 5G mobile and network technologies for the 5G Test Field Initiative of the Berlin senate for economics, technology and research.

The innovation project aims to bring a Smart City backend solution to market by testing and extending it within the two FIRE facilities FUESCO Playground in Germany (using the standard compliant OpenMTC framework) and the FIT IoT-Lab in France (using a wide range of programmable sensors).

The Consortium is pursuing the integration of experimental facilities, testbeds and laboratories into a Federated testbed in the context of FIRE+.

The goal of the SmartOrchestra project is to develop an open and standard-based service platform that enables the openness and utilization of public and business-related services. 

BERCOM addresses the issue of resilient energy supply and communication capabilities for controling units of critical infrastructures under adverse circumstances like massive power failures or cyberattacks. A key component for the resilience is a specifically hardened mobile communication infrastructure.

The project is part of the Fraunhofer MAVO (“Marktorientierte Strategische Vorlaufforschung”, German for: “Market Oriented Strategic Advanced Research”) Initiative and is considered of top strategic relevance in the scope of wireless communication for the Industry 4.0.

The 5G-PPP CogNet project will bring advanced Machine Learning concepts and apply these in the domain of Network Management for 5G with the core objective of using the available network and environmental data to improve the operational efficiency of the network and enable the scale and QoS expected in 5G.

FIESTA aims to empower Experimentation-as-a-Service (EaaS) for sharing and reusing IoT data. The project is going to provide a blueprint experimental infrastructure, tools, techniques, processes and best practices for enabling IoT testbed/platforms operators to interconnect their facilities in an interoperable way.
