European IoT Large Scale Pilot
The European Internet of Things Large Scale Pilots programme gathers Horizon 2020 projects focusing on the development and adoption of IoT by testing and validating new concepts, technologies and solutions via large scale pilots. The amount of data generated by IoT has pushed for an increasing adoption of Cloud Computing and on-demand delivery of computing power, database storage, applications and IT resources.
European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)
European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the European Data Infrastructure (EDI) are high-level initiatives promoted by the European Commission in the context of the European Cloud Initiative to provide all researchers, innovators, companies and citizens with seamless access to an open-by-default, efficient and cross-disciplinary environment for storing, accessing, reusing data, tools, publications and any EOSC Resource for research, innovation and educational purposes.
The Big Data Value Association (BDVA)
The Big Data Value Association (BDVA) is an industry-driven international not–for-profit organisation with 200 members all over Europe and a well-balanced composition of large, small, and medium-sized industries as well as research and user organizations. BDVA is the private counterpart to the EU Commission to implement the Big Data Value PPP program.
FIWARE Foundation
The FIWARE Foundation is the legal independent body providing shared resources to help achieving the FIWARE mission by promoting, augmenting, protecting, and validating the FIWARE technologies as well as the activities of the FIWARE community, empowering its members including end users, developers and rest of stakeholders in the entire ecosystem.
GAIA-X
With GAIA-X, representatives from politics, business and science from France and Germany, together with other European partners, create a proposal for the next generation of a data infrastructure for Europe: a secure, federated system that meets the highest standards of digital sovereignty while promoting innovation.
