Cloud Sovereignty through Federalized Telco-Edge-Cloud Convergence

As Telecom Networks evolve, managing a hybrid multi-technology environment, securing data across federated domains and orchestrating services over heterogeneous telco-edge-cloud infrastructures become real operational challenges. The SOVEREIGN-6G and EURO-3C projects tackle these problems by converging IT, OT, and NT resources into a unified, AI-driven continuum and moving control into an open, sovereign service platform.
In this talk, we’ll cover the fundamentals of these two European initiatives and explore operating in multi-vendor 6G environments, showing how they help automate lifecycle management, enforce zero-trust security, and deliver interoperable beyond-connectivity services (XaaS). We'll also showcase how federated 3C (Connected Collaborative Computing) networks work in real-world deployments and why they are powerful tools for running reliable, secure, and sovereign edge-cloud services.
