CREATE-IoT

Cross-Fertilisation Through Alignment, Synchronisation and Exchange for IoT

H2020 Project, 2017-2020

CREATE-IoT aimed to stimulate collaboration between IoT initiatives, foster the take-up of IoT in Europe, and support the development and growth of IoT ecosystems based on open technologies and platforms. This required synchronisation and alignment on strategic and operational terms through frequent, multidirectional exchanges between the various activities under the IoT Focus Areas (FAs). It also required cross-fertilisation of the various IoT Large Scale Pilots (LSPs) for technological and validation issues of common interest across the application domains and use cases.

The project fostered the exchange of information on the requirements for accompanying legal measures, development of common methodologies and KPIs for design, testing and validation, and for success and impact measurement, coordination of pilot activities and transfer to other pilot areas, facilitating access for IoT entrepreneurs/API developers/makers and SMEs, including a combination of ICT and initiatives for artists. CREATE-IoT built strong connections with Member States’ initiatives and other initiatives, and transferred learning points to the broader IoT policy framework that includes contractual PPPs (e.g., Big Data, factories of the future, 5G infrastructure), joint technology initiatives (e.g., ECSEL), European innovation partnerships (e.g., on smart cities), as well as other FAs (e.g., on autonomous transport). It maintained a coordinated working relationship with U4IoT, focused on RRI-SSH (Responsible Research and Innovation — Social Sciences and Humanities).
