Berkane once again distinguishes itself internationally by joining the FIWARE network as a strategic user at the FIWARE Gold level.
FIWARE is an open-source platform that provides a set of open standards for the development of intelligent and connected solutions in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities. It aims to facilitate the creation of innovative applications and services by providing APIs, data models, and reusable software components.
With a mission to promote the global adoption of its open standards for smart platforms, particularly in the fields of smart cities, smart agriculture, and Industry 4.0, the FIWARE Foundation has praised Berkane for "setting an example of using digital technology for the benefit of citizens and the environment, becoming a beacon for other cities in Morocco, with innovative projects already implemented in urban planning, waste management, traffic management, and much more. Berkane also hosts the International Smart City Symposium, which highlights the importance of digitization for improving public services, addressing several crucial topics including GIS, AI, IoT, and digital technologies, all of which play an essential role in creating smarter and more efficient cities."
FIWARE also supports the development of the FIWARE ecosystem by encouraging collaboration among developers, businesses, and public organizations to stimulate innovation and promote interoperability of FIWARE-based solutions.
