CEED Tech FIWARE Hackathon, Budapest

2014. november 29-30.Budapest, Magyarország

The Budapest EIT ICT Labs is pleased to announce its first 'FiWare Hackaton' concept. The setup of the event is the modified version of the traditional hackathon concept to accomodate the introduction of the FIWARE Generic Enablers (GEs) in the ideation process.

In the past years the European Commission gathered a large number of software solutions developed by various market participants and corporations. The goal of gathering these software solutions was to prepare a library of tools which then can be used by ICT startups and SMEs in the EU.

These software solutions are called "generic enablers". The point about assembling a catalog of large number of such generic enablers is to provide ready-made software solutions to SMEs and startups and hence accelerating their software development. Each of the Generic Enablers (GEs) are open source, so they can me adjusted to individual needs.
