This interactive session will bring together European Commission representatives, industry leaders, researchers, and key ecosystem stakeholders to explore the future of Europe’s Cloud-Edge-IoT continuum. The event will focus on validating strategic insights, discussing policy and investment priorities, and identifying concrete pathways for future collaboration and exploitation.
Participants will gain a comprehensive overview of emerging technology trends, policy challenges, and opportunities for shaping future EU initiatives and funding programmes. The format is designed to be engaging and discussion-driven, ensuring that insights are not only presented but also critically discussed and refined with stakeholder input.
