NexusForum2026 Summit
16 October @ Brussels (Belgium)
Dual-Use Cloud & Edge Technologies for
Europe’s Sovereign AI Infrastructure
NexusForum2026—the fourth edition of the NexusForum Summit series—will to create a unique space for exploring together new, high-impact technological collaborations between the European research and industry ecosystems.
The rapid emergence of sovereign AI infrastructures is having an extraordinary impact on Europe at scientific, technological, socio-economic, and geopolitical levels, as traditionally separated fields like HPC, Cloud, and IoT are now converging into a large and heterogeneous Computing Continuum that brings a number of amazing opportunities but also significant challenges.
NexusForum Summits are unique physical events aimed at exploring technological synergies between the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud, the EU companies and Members States involved in the IPCEIs on Cloud & AI, and the community of projects funded by the Horizon Europe & EDF programmes.s
Launched by the European Commission in 2021 under the direct sponsorship of Commissioner Thierry Breton, the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud fosters collaboration between EU industry and Member States and helps to define common technology priorities and roadmaps for Europe’s next-generation cloud.
Around 100 of the most innovative companies from 12 EU Member States have joined forces around a new €3B Important Project of Common European Interest on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure & Services to create a common cloud and edge infrastructure for Europe and carry out its first industrial deployment in a number of strategic sectors.
With a total budget of €95.5 billion, Horizon Europe is the ambitious EU research & innovation framework programme for 2021-2027. Several topics have been targeting Cloud and Edge Computing since 2021, providing funding for a number of on-going projects developing new data and computing technologies.
