FUTURE INTERNET CONSULTING AND DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS SL

Their core work

FICODES is a Spanish SME specializing in FIWARE-based technology consulting and IoT solution development. They help businesses and agricultural operations adopt Internet of Things platforms, with a strong focus on smart farming and data-driven food chain applications. Their work bridges the gap between open-source IoT frameworks (particularly FIWARE) and real-world deployment in agri-food and cross-industry data sharing scenarios.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

FICODES began with core FIWARE platform work (FI-NEXT, 2016-2018), contributing to the technical advancement of the FIWARE ecosystem itself. They then applied this expertise to a major domain — IoT in agriculture through IoF2020 (2017-2021), one of the largest agri-food IoT pilots in Europe. Most recently, they shifted toward B2B data sharing and trusted data ecosystems (i4Trust, 2020-2023), suggesting a move from technology deployment toward data governance and interoperability infrastructure.

FICODES is moving from pure IoT deployment toward trusted data exchange infrastructure, positioning them for the growing EU data spaces agenda.

How they like to work

FICODES has never coordinated an H2020 project, participating as a partner or third party in all three. They work in large consortia — 108 unique partners across 20 countries suggests involvement in major flagship-style projects like IoF2020. This profile indicates a reliable technical contributor that integrates well into large, multi-stakeholder initiatives rather than leading them.

With 108 unique consortium partners across 20 countries, FICODES has an unusually wide network for a small SME — largely a result of participating in the large-scale IoF2020 pilot. Their connections span Western and Southern Europe with strong ties to the FIWARE community.

What sets them apart

FICODES occupies a niche as a FIWARE-native SME that has moved from platform development into real-world domain applications, particularly agri-food IoT. Their combination of deep FIWARE expertise and hands-on experience with large-scale IoT farming pilots is uncommon among Spanish tech SMEs. For any consortium needing FIWARE integration or IoT middleware for agriculture or data sharing, they bring both the technical depth and the pilot experience.

Highlights from their portfolio

• IoF2020
  One of the largest IoT agri-food pilots in H2020, with EUR 305K funding to FICODES — their biggest project by far and the source of most of their domain expertise.
• i4Trust
  Signals their strategic shift toward trusted B2B data sharing ecosystems, connecting FIWARE with iSHARE for cross-sector industrial applications.
