As 2025 marks a decisive turning point in Europe’s digital transformation journey, NexusForum2025 brings together a powerful convergence of Artificial Intelligence, cloud-edge infrastructure, and sustainability—three forces that are no longer separate priorities, but deeply interconnected elements shaping Europe’s economic future, environmental resilience, and digital sovereignty.

Despite Europe controlling less than 10% of its critical digital infrastructure and with ambitious 2030 climate targets fast approaching, NexusForum2025 is a unique platform for advancing a European approach to technology leadership—values-driven, open, sustainable, and sovereign.

Why Attend NexusForum2025?

NexusForum2025 will convene thought leaders, researchers, policymakers, and innovators across sectors to build collaborative strategies across:

  • Artificial Intelligence
    Accelerating innovation while ensuring ethical oversight, robust data governance, and sovereignty in compute and AI infrastructure.

  • Cloud & Edge Infrastructure
    Building Europe’s own scalable, decentralised, and secure digital backbones—moving beyond dependency on centralised, non-EU platforms.

  • Sustainability
    Putting green computing at the heart of the European Green Deal—creating climate-conscious digital infrastructure that meets both environmental and performance goals.

  • Digital Sovereignty
    Empowering the EU to shape its own technological future through interoperable standards, public-private R&D, and open source ecosystems.


Event Highlights

  • High-level keynotes and interactive panel discussions

  • Hands-on workshops on digital policy, open standards, and EU open source tech

  • Live showcases of cutting-edge EU-funded R&I projects and real-world use cases

  • Round-table exchanges with industry leaders and public sector stakeholders

  • Join exclusive Working Groups to shape the NexusForum Roadmap


CISERO at NexusForum2025

CISERO will play a central role at NexusForum2025 by moderating a high-level panel on the IPCEI-CIS Reference Architecture on 6 November at 09:00. 

The discussion will be moderated by Matthias Kuom (DLR, CISERO Coordinator) and will feature Pawel Maslowski (Chief Innovation Officer, Oktawave), Mauro Renato Boldi (European Project Manager, TIM) and Andreas Schlosser (BTP Cross-Projects, SAP).

This session will place the spotlight on their shared perspectives and expertise, exploring how the IPCEI-CIS architectural framework can strengthen Europe’s cloud-edge capabilities through interoperability, security, and energy-efficient design. The panel will highlight the importance of collaboration across industry and research to accelerate the deployment of European cloud-edge services at scale.


Looking Ahead

CISERO is deeply committed to support shaping a future where technological progress aligns with European values of openness, sustainability, and shared prosperity. We look forward to the dynamic discussions and strategic partnerships that will emerge at NexusForum2025. Join us in this pivotal moment for Europe's digital future.
