CEI-Sphere Webinar "Understanding the CEI ecosystem via the Hourglass Model" (Slides)

Digital ecosystems spanning Cloud, Edge and IoT are becoming increasingly complex. Energy, mobility, manufacturing and smart city systems now rely on a dense mesh of technologies, platforms, standards and stakeholders that must work together seamlessly. Yet understanding how these elements connect, and where organisations truly sit within this landscape, remains a major challenge. This webinar introduces the Hourglass Model, developed within CEI-Sphere, as a practical framework to help stakeholders make sense of complex digital ecosystems. By visualising how capabilities, platforms and actors align across layers, the model provides a shared language for collaboration, innovation and strategic positioning.Check the slides of the webinar.
