O-CEI (2024-2027): Open CloudEdgeIoT Platform Uptake in Large Scale Cross-Domain Pilots

O-CEI is a Horizon Europe project that aims to accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge Cloud-Edge-IoT solutions, boosting Europe’s competitiveness and technological independence. The overall objective of the O-CEI project is to pilot the imperative of accelerating the uptake and upscaling of such cutting-edge solutions, strengthening Europe’s competitiveness and open strategic autonomy by orchestrating cross-domain data sharing, minimizing energy footprint, stimulating multi-sided marketplaces, and promoting open standards for virtualization and interoperability. 

As an Innovation Action program, O-CEI aims to create an open CEI platform with a strong focus on interoperability, security, and reliability, making it easier for different sectors to collaborate and share data in real-time. This will enable faster, more accurate predictions in energy flexibility, helping industries to become more adaptable to energy demands. By developing breakthrough technologies and deploying large-scale pilots, O-CEI will support Europe’s transition to a more sustainable and resilient digital infrastructure, paving the way for cleaner energy and more efficient use of resources.
