This workshop aims to provide an overview of the CEI demand landscape and highlight the major demand-pull drivers in the agriculture sector. The workshop will encompass discussions of the future and current use cases as well as economic, political, environmental, technological, social and legal factors that can affect the option of Cloud-Edge-IoT technologies on the market.

The use cases will include smart farming solutions supporting the ecological production of crop and animal products, retrofitting existing agricultural machinery with CEI-based kits, data sharing for farmers’ sovereignty (weather prediction, field management, yield forecasts), and new digital opportunities.

The agenda will involve discussions regarding the flow of the data-driven revenue streams among the CEI stakeholders and potential vendor lock-ins. Potential gaps will indicate business opportunities and incentivise cooperation among the participating experts. A detailed agenda will be provided a week before the workshop.

UNLOCK CEI is the organiser of the event and is one of the Coordination and Support Actions funded in this cluster with the objective to understand and predict possible market scenarios at the convergence of Cloud, Edge and IoT (CEI) technologies and support their adoption by companies and other relevant industrial players. To this aim, an engaged community of CEI adopters will be constituted to help understand the requirements for the future uptake of such technologies and provide insights to guide future research and innovation in this field.
