As Europe invests in the development of IoT, Cloud, Edge solutions, industry is struggling to adapt to the speed of technological change and the paradigm change towards more intelligence at the edge, that these technologies can bring.

In this webinar we would like to present and discuss some of the important topics that can help to understand how this transformation can be achieved from research, policy and standardisation point of view and what resources and collaboration is needed.

The main topics of the webinar will cover:

• A common definition of edge topology
• Key use cases for Edge Computing
• APIs and standardisation as an element for edge platforms
• Use of open source / Eclipse

presented from the perspective of ongoing EU funded projects in IoT, Cloud, Edge continuum from Horizon Europe programme (UnlockCEI, OpenContinuum, HiPEAC) and exploring how to build on AIOTI’s experience on platform building and collaborate with those projects on open architectures, APIs and standards supporting an open, vibrant ecosystem perspective.
