Connecting 6G with Europe’s cloud-edge future
For the 8ra Initiative, EuCNC & 6G Summit is an important forum to address a central question for Europe’s digital infrastructure: how can future communication networks, edge computing and distributed cloud infrastructures work together?
From an 8ra perspective, these layers cannot be considered separately. Europe’s next-generation digital services will depend on secure, interoperable and resilient infrastructure that enables data processing and service deployment across cloud and edge environments.
Through the 8ra Initiative, European partners are working to build a federated Multi-Provider Cloud-Edge Continuum that supports openness, interoperability, digital sovereignty and reduced technological dependency.
Sharing progress from the 8ra Initiative
Together, 8ra and CISERO will share insights into the current progress of the 8ra Initiative, the collaborative work behind the ecosystem and the role of open, federated cloud-edge architectures in strengthening Europe’s digital capacity.
As part of their contribution to the event, 8ra and CISERO will present a joint poster that highlights how the initiative connects technological development, European collaboration and the broader objective of building a sovereign cloud-edge infrastructure.
By bringing the 8ra perspective to EuCNC & 6G Summit, the contribution links the discussion on future communication networks with the infrastructure needed to make advanced digital services scalable, sovereign and interoperable across Europe.
Join the exchange in Málaga
8ra and CISERO look forward to engaging with researchers, industry representatives and ecosystem partners at EuCNC & 6G Summit 2026.
Visitors are invited to meet the teams in Málaga, learn more about the 8ra Initiative and join the conversation on Europe’s next-generation cloud-edge infrastructure.
