App-based solutions for Future Internet

Future Internet Smart Utility Services

FINESCE was the smart energy use case project of the 2nd phase of Future Internet Public Private Partnership Programme (FI-PPP) funded by the European Union within FP7.

From 2013-2015, FINESCE has contributed to the development of an open IT-infrastructure to be used to develop and offer new app-based solutions in all fields of the Future Internet related to the energy sector. The project has organized and run a series of field trials at trial sites in 7 European countries.

FINESCE has built on and extended the results of the FI-PPP FINSENY project to realise sustainable real time smart energy services.
