Fiware Foundation and the India Urban Data Exchange want to encourage standard-based development of solutions to exchange data among multiple organisations in different application domains.
Open standards non-profit Fiware Foundation is collaborating with the India Urban Data Exchange (IUDX) to form the International Data Exchange Alliance (Idea).
Idea will promote the adoption of global standards such as Etsi’s NGSI-LD and Smart Data Models.

Idea will encourage standard-based development of smart solutions to exchange data among multiple organisations in different application domains, as well as the creation of use cases and applications that can be leveraged globally.
The IUDX initiative was initiated by the Smart Cities Mission within the Indian Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and is being developed and implemented by the Indian Institute of Science.
Idea reports the platform has been already deployed in 12 cities in India, enabling a wide variety of use cases that facilitate better mobility, sanitation, safety, and environmental management across Indian cities.
Fiware and IUDX have been working closely during the last two years to foster the adoption of open standards and to create a standard architecture for data exchange open source software. IUDX is one of the active contributors to the data models (smart data models) which are providing the basis for interoperable digital platforms and smart solutions on top of it.
With this, replicable solutions are created and synergies between cities and regions are made possible. A standard for data exchange interfaces modelled after IUDX and based on Etsi’s NGSI-LD was adopted in June 2021 by the Bureau of Indian Standards as a standard API for Indian cities.
In addition to contributing to common standards, members of Idea will be able to participate in the creation of data marketplaces and joint marketing activities aimed at boosting the development of a sustainable ecosystem around the development of smart solutions and trusted data exchange.
Members of Idea will also have access to the ecosystems of both Fiware and IUDX and will be able to avail themselves of a discount in membership fees as compared to independent memberships.
“The partnership with IUDX in the creation of the International Data Exchange Alliance further strengthens Fiware’s recognised role as a driver of relevant standards and open source models. Fiware is pleased to work with a partner that is central to India’s ambitious smart city vision,” said Ulrich Ahle, CEO, Fiware Foundation.
“Together with existing partners from both ecosystems, we have created the basis for further development nationwide as well as international roll-out. It requires the growth of the existing ecosystems where Idea will be a great fit and enabler.”
