EUROpean 3C Networks for Secure Telco-Cloud-Edge

EURO-3C realizes the European Connected Collaborative Computing Networks (3CN) vision by establishing the first large-scale, federated, open, and sovereign Pan-European pilot infrastructure for converged Telco-Edge-Cloud services. The EURO-3C project will address the under-served needs and demands of key EU vertical sectors for secure, sovereign, high-performance and competitive 3CN services, by leveraging large-scale ubiquitous and production-grade infrastructures, developing a new sustainable, federated, and open ecosystem for Telco-Edge-Cloud services, establishing strategic industrial cooperation with key Vertical sectors, and researching and innovating in sovereign technologies and services. EURO-3C will provide a multi-vendor, multi-domain pilot infrastructure built upon six research and innovation pillars: Telco-Cloud Convergence, Multi-level Federation, Interoperable XaaS Services, AI-enabled Orchestration, Security by Design/Zero Trust, and Business Sustainability, for evolving more than 70 production edge nodes across more than 13 countries and 15 providers towards the delivery of high added value interoperable telco-edge-cloud services while unlocking new economies of scale for all players involved. The EURO-3C value proposition will be validated through 9 business relevant use cases in key sectors like Automotive, Transport, Energy, and PPDR. EURO-3C brings together 87 leading Telcos, Vendors, Cloud providers, industry end-users, SMEs, AI and Security specialists and RTOs, to co-develop and validate an innovative, open and standards-based solution. The project will advance key standards and open frameworks, including 3GPP, ETSI, GSMA Operator Platform, as well as open source communities such as Sylva, Nephio, Anuket, CAMARA and ETSI SDGs. EURO-3C is aligned with flagship EU initiatives, such as IPCEI-CIS/MECT, the SNS JU Streams, EuroHPC/AI Factories, and the Open Internet Stack, to ensure technology, policy and market convergence.
