Build Smarter Cities Without Starting From Scratch
Cities face the same challenge: high ambitions, limited budgets, and too many disconnected systems.
Digital transformation often stalls in long tenders and over-engineered platforms that never reach everyday use.
That’s why we built FIWAREBox – a modular, open-source data platform that turns city data into actionable insights.
Powered by FIWARE, fully aligned with the EU Data Act, Gaia-X, and Smart Data Models, it brings structure, standards, and simplicity into city digitalization.
On top of it, we provide two ready-to-use services:
- DCaaS (Data Catalog-as-a-Service) – collects and publishes your city data in one consistent place.
- DSaaS (Data Space-as-a-Service) – enables secure data sharing across departments, utilities, or regional partners.
Together, they form a foundation where cities can build real solutions fast and affordably.
FROM PLATFORM TO SOLUTION IN 30 - 90 DAYS
Our Smart City Starter Packs are pre-built templates that address real city challenges — from mobility and utilities to environment and citizen engagement.
Each pack includes:
- Standardized data models and dashboards.
- Ready connectors for sensors, APIs, and existing systems.
- Example datasets and visualization templates.
- Seamless integration with your FIWAREBox (DCaaS/DSaaS).
They are designed as Minimum Viable Projects (MVPs) – small, measurable, and deployable in about 30-90 days.
You start with one focused area, prove value, and scale confidently.

WHY IT MATTERS
Traditional smart city projects can cost hundreds of thousands of euros and still deliver little impact.
With FIWAREBox Starter Packs, you get:
- 80 % of the value for 20 % of the cost (Pareto principle in practice).
- Standards-based, open components – no vendor lock-in.
- Freedom to expand or customize at any stage.
- Full control and ownership of your city data.
FAST, OPEN, SCALABLE
Think of the Starter Packs as innovation accelerators for cities ready to act.
They let you validate ideas quickly, engage citizens, and visualize results – all without complex IT projects.
Your city doesn’t need another platform.
It needs FIWAREBox with DCaaS and DSaaS to turn open data into real progress.
