We are excited to be part of the INCLUDE project, a new European initiative that brings together the Cloud, Edge, IoT and Telco communities to foster collaboration towards a more open, interoperable and sustainable Computing Continuum.
The project officially kicked off last week in Heidelberg, Germany, where consortium partners met to align their vision, establish the first activities and lay the foundations for the next 36 months of collaboration.
About the INCLUDE project
The INCLUDE project’s vision is to establish Europe as a leader in digital infrastructure by creating a harmonized, open and sovereign Telco-Edge-Cloud ecosystem as part of the 3C Initiative.
To achieve this, the project will strengthen collaboration across the Cloud, Edge, IoT and Telco communities, bringing together stakeholders from industry, research, standardisation and policy to develop a shared vision for Europe’s Computing Continuum. By aligning technology development with market needs and fostering cooperation across key European initiatives, INCLUDE will help shape a more interoperable, trustworthy and demand-driven digital ecosystem.
Over the course of the project, the consortium will deliver a common technology roadmap, a governance framework, collaborative tools and open-source integration mechanisms, a catalogue of community-driven building blocks, guidance for developers, business models to support market uptake, and an engaged stakeholder ecosystem that will ensure the long-term sustainability of the initiative.
