Speaker

Description

Over 20 European tech organizations, led by OpenNebula Systems, launched Virt8ra.eu in early 2025, an open source initiative focused on building Europe's first sovereign virtualization stack. Part of the €3B IPCEI-CIS project, this collaboration created a European technological ecosystem around vendor-neutral cloud-edge continuum management and virtualization. Virt8ra enables interoperability and portability for applications, supporting low-latency use cases and reducing dependence on hyperscalers. In this talk we will present this initiative, its main technological results, and the different options for third-parties to join this community and contribute with their components and innovations.

What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?

This talk will offer a clear path for developers and additional European technology players to contribute to this effort and join this open source initiative.
