As an ICT expert, I've constantly leveraged standards and harmonized processes to realize interoperability among a wide variety of stakeholders and systems.
DIH FbN is non for profit association acting as Digital Innovation Hub. Our mission is to empower organizations by providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and expertise to innovate in the digital economy. More specifically DIH FbN promote the usage of digital technologies - Data Spaces, DPP, Digital Twins, metaverse, ... - to support business processes related to the implementation of the circular economy.
In 2014, I co-created and managed the first French Digital Innovation Hub : DIH FbN, with the mission to support digital and environmental transformation of SMEs and territories through collaborative R&D around technologies like IoT, Cloud Computing, Big Data and ML. Standards, interoperability principles and open source components integration have been applied to develop DIH FbN activities supporting more than 120 projects until now, all related to data spaces, digital twins, or citiverses. More specifically, DIH FbN widely exploits FIWARE open source components implementing the ETSI CIM standard NGSI-LD, in combination with W3C standards and components related to Web of Things (WoT) and integrating agentic AI through Mode Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
As Digital Innovation Hubs, we offer replicable and scalable tools and methodology to Cities and Communities - and also to SMEs - in order to integrate advanced digital technologies like Data Spaces, Local Digital Twins and Virtual Worlds (Citiverse).
