“Capitalising on Cloud-Edge-IoT: Building your next product, finding your next market opportunity” Webinar

Ignacio Lacalle Ubeda, from Universitat Politècnica de València UPV presented aerOS Open Call during the “Capitalising on Cloud-Edge-IoT: Building your next product, finding your next market opportunity” webinar by EuCloudEdgeIoT on 20th of Semtember!

This online event included information on the funding opportunities through open calls organised by the meta-OS projects, supporting over 60 actions with budgets between 60.000 and 200.000 € totalling over 4 million €. These actions aim to extend the intermediate results of the meta-OS projects by specific applications. Researchers, industry players, SMEs and start-ups had the opportunity to explore ways to contribute to cloud-edge use cases in automotive, energy, mobility, manufacturing and beyond.

1st aerOS code camp

The inaugural aerOS code camp took place on 19-21 of September in Bilbao. The purpose of this gathering is to review the current progress of our technical activities and establish the direction for the upcoming period. Also, at this meeting partners created small teams to discuss different aspects of the project simultaneously.

The research community booklet

The European Cloud, Edge & IoT Continuum (EUCloudEdgeIoT.eu) aims to realise a pathway for the understanding and development of the CEI Continuum by promoting cooperation between a wide range of research projects, developers and suppliers, business users and potential adopters of this new technological paradigm.

The EUCloudEdgeIoT.eu project contributes to the coordination of a portfolio of research projects in the CEI Computing Continuum funded under:

  • Cloud Computing: towards a smart cloud computing continuum (ICT40-2020)
  • Software Technologies (ICT-50-2020)
  • Next Generation Internet of Things (ICT-56-2020)
  • Future European platforms for the Edge: Meta Operating Systems (HORIZON-CL4-2021-DATA-01-05)
  • Cognitive Cloud: AI-enabled computing continuum from Cloud to Edge (HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-02)
  • Programming tools for decentralised intelligence and swarms (HORIZON-CL4-2022- DATA-01-03)
  • Open source for cloud-based services (HORIZON-CL4-2022-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-26)

These will also benefit from the synergies and legacy of other existing EU projects in the domains of Cloud, Edge, IoT, AI, and connectivity, including, among others, NGIoT, SW Forum and H-Cloud, as well as companies and startups such as Axelera AI.

Cloud-Edge-IoT Innovations in Manufacturing: Unveiling Market Insights and Use Cases Post Webinar Report

The event explored the transformations witnessed by the manufacturing industry in recent years, providing in-depth market and industry insights for the manufacturing sector, specifically focusing on cloud-edge-IoT use cases. It also provided valuable information and knowledge to navigate the evolving manufacturing landscape and unlock this sector’s true potential of the Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum. The event was co-organised with the Meta Operating Systems projects of the EUCEI Community aerOS and FLUIDOS.

The event was part of the “Cloud-Edge-IoT industry innovations” webinar series, which explores the latest industry trends, discusses sector-specific service requirements, showcases real-world use case presentations, and engages in panel discussions with industry experts to shed light on the challenges and opportunities faced by companies in adopting and harnessing the full potential of these technologies. Each webinar focuses on a specific sector.
