Are you an SME or Startup at the forefront of Edge Computing, IoT, or Cloud-Native Solutions?

O-CEI is thrilled to announce its first Open Call, inviting visionary tech providers – SMEs and startups – to join us in building a more interoperable, energy-flexible, and sustainable digital landscape.

The Cloud-Edge-IoT (CEI) paradigm is revolutionizing how we interact with technology, data, and our environment. O-CEI stands at the heart of this transformation, dedicated to accelerating the uptake of cutting-edge CEI solutions throughout Europe. Our project is actively engaged in eight large-scale pilots that are laying the groundwork for a robust, secure, and energy-efficient digital backbone that will benefit citizens, industries, and the environment across the continent.

Your opportunity: Become an O-CEI Upscaling Project!

The first Open Call is your chance to directly contribute to this groundbreaking work. We are looking for Upscaling Projects – innovative tech providers (SMEs and Startups) who will develop and test their edge solutions in the form of CEI utilities (apps and services). These solutions will tackle real-world challenges identified within our existing large-scale pilots, bringing your technology from concept to impactful application.

This is more than just a grant; it’s an invitation to:

• Validate your technology: Test and refine your solutions in live, operational environments.
• Solve real-world problems: Address tangible challenges with significant societal and economic impact.
• Collaborate & grow: Work alongside leading experts and pilot partners across Europe.
