Project Summary
Many SMEs are facing a number of problems when attempting to develop a sort of comprehensive data strategy. The tools required to make successful data management an achievable prospect often require an up-front capital investment. The data remains in silos and its availability or cross-domain value is still unperceived.
EDI will help them jump this hurdle providing (1) a free infrastructure with open source tools (2) training on the most known off-the-self solutions (3) support and business services to develop their business idea and (4) equity-free funding.
The main objective of the project will be to leverage the technology and knowledge on Big Data across countries and sectors thanks to the incubation of start-ups/SMEs who use Big Data open source tools oriented to sort out major challenges in different business which facilitate their data assets. Pragma-IoT delivers an innovative white label IoT framework (OEM IoT platform) capable to collect, process, analyze, and present information collected at different architectural nodes of an end-to-end ecosystem. The platform is comprised of front-end and back-end components, which are easily customized and applicable to a large number of IoT applications.
