Vision highlights for... ​

...Educators ​

Prepare the next generation of innovators by integrating the 'next computing paradigm' into your curriculum. You can achieve this by introducing core topics like edge-to-cloud computing, AI orchestration, and next-generation hardware. It is also essential to emphasize cross-cutting skills in systems thinking, cybersecurity, and sustainability , and to familiarize students with AI-based tools for both software and hardware development.

...Industry Leaders ​

Build a competitive, 'made-in-Europe' technology ecosystem that is trustworthy and sustainable. This involves developing specialized hardware for the edge, focusing on efficiency, interoperability, and security. Companies should also create agentic AI models (SAMs) and orchestration software that operate in a distributed infrastructure. System integrators can deliver seamless user experiences through 'digital envelopes', expanded web protocols, and robust end-to-end cybersecurity.

...Policymakers ​

Create the conditions for Europe to lead in the next computing paradigm through strategic funding, regulation, and infrastructure. This can be accomplished by directing research funding towards European foundation models, AI orchestrators, and next-gen hardware. It is also vital to establish standards for interoperable protocols, cybersecurity, and sustainability. Ambitious, DARPA-style and CERN-style initiatives should be launched to accelerate breakthrough research and innovation.
