We use an open source approach, which has proven to be a very powerful mechanism that can lead to global and large-scale innovations and implementations. We believe that an open source and open innovation approach in the field of Smart Grids, public infrastructures and Smart Cities will lead to:
LESS DEVELOPMENT TIME
COLLABORATE & INNOVATION
NO VENDOR/TECHNOLOGY LOCK-IN
ACCELERATE OPEN INNOVATION AND ECOSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
MORE OPEN STANDARDS
MORE USE OF SMART APPLICATIONS
REDUCING IT COMPLEXITY
