Europe Connected: From IPCEI-CIS Results to Deployment
The IPCEI on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS) represents a major European investment in sovereign, secure, and interoperable cloud and edge technologies. As projects have moved from early development into implementation and first tangible results, a critical window has opened for spillover, replication, and deployment beyond the participating Member States.
This workshop is conceived as a transition point: from building and testing within IPCEI-CIS to engaging a broader European
ecosystem of companies, innovation intermediaries, and public actors that can use, adapt, scale, or build upon IPCEI-CIS results.
Built for those ready to act on European cloud innovation
If you are a company or SME looking to adopt, integrate, or scale advanced cloud and edge solutions, this is a rare opportunity to engage directly with the teams behind them — well before these technologies reach the open market. You will find concrete solutions to explore, developers to speak with, and pathways to collaboration that are practical and immediate.
For innovation intermediaries — clusters, digital innovation hubs, industry platforms, and research and technology organisations — the workshop offers a direct line to IPCEI-CIS results that you can help translate into uptake within your ecosystems. For public authorities and policymakers, it is an opportunity to understand what is deployable now, explore alignment with national strategies, and engage with future participation mechanisms such as 8ra.
IPCEI-CIS project representatives and pilot leads will find a room of motivated, qualified potential partners and users — stakeholders specifically engaged because they are positioned to adopt, replicate, or build on what IPCEI-CIS has developed. Outreach is focused on stakeholders from Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Malta, and Cyprus.
