Cognitive computing continuum cluster explores trusted AI lifecycle management at Data Week 2026

Europe’s vision for the cognitive computing continuum is becoming increasingly concrete: AI systems capable of operating seamlessly across edge, cloud, and high-performance computing infrastructures while remaining trustworthy, interoperable, energy efficient, and scalable. This vision was explored during the workshop “From Data to Decisions: AI Lifecycle Management Across the Cognitive Computing Continuum”, held at Data Week…

Mapping Europe’s Cloud-Edge-IoT Ecosystem: CEI-Sphere Launches New Use Case Visualisation Tool

Mapping Europe’s Cloud-Edge-IoT Ecosystem: CEI-Sphere Launches New Use Case Visualisation Tool

Europe’s Cloud-Edge-IoT (CEI) ecosystem is growing rapidly, but understanding how innovations connect across sectors, technologies and stakeholders remains a challenge. From energy systems and smart mobility to industrial optimisation and agrifood applications, many initiatives are developing valuable solutions, yet the ecosystem itself often remains fragmented and difficult to navigate. To help address this, the CEI-Sphere…

FOSDEM 2026 Through a Digital Policy Lens 

FOSDEM 2026 Through a Digital Policy Lens 

FOSDEM has always been a mirror of the open-source ecosystem: its strengths, its tensions, and its future directions. Across the Open Source & EU Policy, Legal, and CRA in Practice devrooms, a consistent narrative emerged: European regulation, standards, and public investment are deeply entangled with the technical realities of open ecosystems.  This post highlights key insights from those FOSDEM tracks and reflects on how they align with — and challenge — what NexusForum is promoting.  From “Open Source and Policy” to “Open Source as Policy”  One of the most striking elements of the Open Source & EU Policy devroom was how far the conversation has evolved. Rather than treating policy as an external constraint imposed on developers, many talks framed open source itself as a policy instrument — a means to achieve public goals such as digital sovereignty, resilience, and interoperability.  Discussions around European digital sovereignty repeatedly rejected simplistic narratives of technological independence. Instead, speakers emphasised sovereignty as capability: the ability to understand, influence, maintain, and evolve the software that underpins society. This framing aligns closely with NexusForum’s emphasis on participation in global open ecosystems rather than isolation from them.  The implication is clear: Europe’s strategic autonomy depends less on “owning” software and more on sustaining strong, well-governed open communities that European actors actively contribute to.  Governance, Procurement, and the Digital Commons  Another recurring theme was governance — not…
