On Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th of March, a semi-annual plenary session of the European SPECIFI project took place in Utrecht. The project focuses on developing services and tools to provide a platform for the creative industry on the 'future internet', enabling innovative performances through bandwidth availability and fast connections. This includes interactive applications for tourists to explore cities and connect with local artists. Another example is a platform for 'distributed' performances, where participating artists are located in different places.
Dialogic is responsible for business modeling and intellectual property within the project. Dialogic collaborates with partners such as the Belgian iMinds, Alcatel-Lucent, and the University of Athens. Local governments, creative entrepreneurs, and research institutions from the cities of Kortrijk (Belgium), Trento (Italy), and Barcelona (Spain) are also involved. The meeting took place in the brand-new workshop space that Dialogic recently inaugurated earlier this year. As part of the visit, the international group met with creative entrepreneurs at the business hub Hooghiemstra.
Dialogic is exploring participation in the 'Creative Ring' with various Dutch entities, a community that will eventually connect several cities and provide creative entrepreneurs with easy access to the products and services from SPECIFI.
