How Pilots and Demonstrators fit into the IPCEI-CIS ecosystem
Pilots and Demonstrators showcase how IPCEI-CIS project results are validated in practice, at different levels of integration and scale.
Pilots are integration-driven initiatives that bring together technologies developed across multiple IPCEI-CIS projects and Integration Clusters. They act as convergence points, testing interoperability and joint performance in real cloud and edge environments. Through this integration effort, Pilots also contribute to validating the IPCEI-CIS Reference Architecture and to refining it by identifying gaps, missing components, or opportunities for optimisation.
Demonstrators, on the other hand, are initiatives developed by a single company. They focus on showcasing and validating specific solutions or components in a concrete operational context, providing tangible evidence of how individual IPCEI-CIS results can be applied in practice.
This section provides an overview of the most advanced IPCEI-CIS Pilots and Demonstrators. Explore the initiatives below to understand their roles and contributions within the broader IPCEI-CIS ecosystem.
