The EU Data Strategy and the Member States’ Joint Declaration on Cloud acknowledge the strategic role of a federated cloud-to-edge infrastructure and services for the successful digital transformation of the EU economy and society. The actions under this section aim at equipping Europe with world class interconnected (i.e. federated), trusted, interoperable and sustainable cloud-to-edge capabilities (infrastructures, platforms, marketplaces, services and testing and experimentation facilities for edge AI). The targeted infrastructures and services will also serve common data spaces supported by the Programme. Furthermore, they will enable a swift uptake of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Internet of Things, High Performance Computing and big data.
