The CEI-Sphere project supports the development of an open, interoperable, and competitive Cloud-Edge-IoT (CEI) ecosystem. At its core are Europe’s Large-Scale Pilots (LSPs) – the O-CEI and COP-PILOT projects – which deliver hyper-distributed, scalable next-generation CEI solutions serving a wide range of industries.
To maximise their impact, CEI-Sphere introduces the concept of Spheres: clusters that bring together use cases from the LSPs around shared challenges and opportunities. This market-driven approach fosters synergies, speeds up knowledge exchange, and accelerates the transition from innovation to large-scale adoption.
These are the three spheres:
In parallel, CEI-Sphere coordinates a set of Task Forces (TFs) that address cross-cutting challenges such as interoperability, standards, and governance. These Task Forces provide a collaborative platform where stakeholders can actively contribute, share expertise, and shape the future of the European CEI ecosystem.
