(Telecompaper) Cisco and Barcelona city council have announced plans to open a global IoE (Internet of Everything) innovation centre in Barcelona to provide a platform for research, technological development and new IoE-related market opportunities for smart cities. The 1,720 square-metre centre will be located in a 19th century building at the heart of the 22@Barcelona district, an area being refurbished by the council into a smart city campus. The IoE innovation centre is slated to open in summer 2016 and will be one of five Cisco sites focused on IoE and its market opportunities around the globe, including the current centres in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Songdo (South Korea) and two more that are under development in Germany and Canada. Cisco has committed to invest some USD 30 million from 2015 to 2020 in the facilities' restoration, innovation lab, IT equipment, and talent acquisition primarily in engineering, application development and research.
