Semiconductors in the world of Cloud, Edge and IoT

Watch the recording for the webinar “Semiconductors in the World of Cloud, Edge, and IoT,” organised in collaboration with ALLPROS.eu. This event detailed the integral connections between cloud computing, edge computing, IoT, and semiconductor technology.

This two-hour webinar illustrated how advancements in semiconductor technology underpin innovations in cloud computing, edge computing, and IoT, and vice versa. Through engaging discussions and presentations, the webinar highlighted emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in these rapidly evolving fields, fostering collaboration among cross-sectoral stakeholders to drive progress and innovation.

As UNLOCK-CEI approaches its conclusion in November 2024, the webinar presented key results and recommendations from this CSA, with a focus on sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation. These presentations showcased Meta-Operating Systems use cases, demonstrating the critical role of semiconductors in enabling predictive maintenance in manufacturing, enhancing the efficiency of smart grids in energy, and supporting the development of autonomous vehicles in transportation.

At the same time, this was an opportunity for ALLPROS.eu, which is approaching the mid-point of its duration, to highlight the results achieved so far and discuss the current and future market trends related to semiconductors, particularly in combination with the increased demand for the new Cloud-Edge-IoT paradigm.
