The document discusses the Future Internet Public Private Partnership (FI-PPP) program. It notes that platform-based business models have driven growth in the US ICT sector, while EU sales have declined. The FI-PPP aims to make Europe a leader in future internet technologies through open calls and three phases of projects. Phase 1 developed prototypes, while Phase 2 focuses on experimentation sites using Generic Enablers. Phase 3 will provide subgrants to SMEs and startups via intermediaries to develop services and applications. The XIFI project establishes initial test infrastructure sites across Europe to validate enablers from the FI-WARE project.
