Europe, with a concrete plan for development, has defined some of the focus areas. It includes trustworthy data exchange, climate-neutrality, cybersecurity, and interoperability. There are also plans to renew and work on expanding the infrastructure. Companies might witness increased density of edge and cloud facilities across the continent, backed by network and interconnectivity services that give rise to innovate use cases.

The low carbon supply and trustworthy edge and cloud infrastructure and services will be stimulated to handle the industry-specific needs of Europe.

Today CEOs of 27 companies shared their industrial technology roadmap for next generation #Cloud and #Edge offerings.
