The FIWARE Global Summit is one of the leading open-source conferences for public administrations, academia, developers, technologists, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, SMEs, large enterprises, and investors, that will equally gather a professional community and technological market leaders to discuss challenges and create opportunities for businesses and open innovation around the digital transformation. 

This year, the Global Summit will present more than 250 Smart Cities that use FIWARE technology, references in Agrifood, Industry, Energy, Water and Tourism, trends of the future of Digital Twins, Data Spaces, Smart Data Models, and will combine a variety of activities ranging from technical roadmaps to open calls, from expert talks to business workshops, from networking to interdisciplinary negotiations. 

Special attention in the program will be given to business-generating initiatives and funding opportunities. The development of digital skills will also be one of the cornerstones of the Summit providing live training sessions for developers and technical experts. A significant role will be given to the currently most discussed topics: Data Spaces forming a single European data space and a genuine single market for data.
