The Hourglass Model in Use

"The world is complex and we need to understand what’s going on, we need to understand ecosystems".

This is why CEI-Sphere developed the Hourglass Model, a conceptual framework designed to help stakeholders better understand each other, identify opportunities, and navigate the broader Cloud-Edge-IoT landscape.

In this short video, taken from our podcast recorded at the Open Source Community Day, Antonio Kung explains why the Hourglass Model matters: how it strengthens ecosystem collaboration, how it connects stakeholders with building blocks and capabilities, how it supports interoperability and standards, and how it ultimately ties into open-source development.

👇 Below, you can also explore the projects that are already applying the Hourglass Model in practice.
