The 8ra Initiative is a European umbrella initiative to build a resilient, open, sovereign, and future-proof digital infrastructure in Europe which centers on IPCEI-CIS that unites 12 EU member states and around 120 partners.
At 8ra’s core lies the Multi-Provider Cloud-Edge Continuum – a connected IT architecture that enables the flexible use of distributed cloud and edge resources across providers and national borders.
The 8ra initiative delivers the development of open reference architecture and software solutions. Moreover, it is creating a decentralised cloud ecosystem allowing for seamless access to key technologies such as cloud-edge, AI, IoT, and many more. All key components will be available as free open-source software.
