D4.4 – Market developments learnings

This report provides an extensive analysis of the European Cloud-Edge-IoT (CEI) continuum, focusing on market readiness and the strategic adoption of CEI technologies across key sectors. Part of the UNLOCK-CEI project, this document encompasses strategies designed to establish an accurate route to market and assess the commercial impact of the technologies being developed. To do so, it offers valuable insights derived from the CEI-LING assessment application (formerly known as the CEI-LING tool), enabling organisations to evaluate their readiness to integrate CEI solutions. Key findings indicate that most organisations currently occupy preliminary readiness levels, highlighting a widespread need for technology infrastructure, organisational, financial awareness, risk and compliance and strategic frameworks to support CEI adoption.
