Open, Smart Platform for European IoT and Computing
The European Union faces significant challenges in deploying next-generation Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and computing systems, including fragmented infrastructure, interoperability issues, and limited cross-sector standardization. The SMART EUROPE project is aimed at revolutionizing the IIoT and computing technologies. By creating an open-edge computing platform, we aim to modernize European infrastructure and foster sustainable technological growth.
