HEDGE-IoT

**Welcome to HEDGE-IoT, an ambitious EU-funded initiative within the Horizon Europe framework, dedicated to revolutionizing the energy landscape with innovative IoT solutions.** As Europe sets ambitious climate targets, the importance of sustainable energy solutions has never been clearer. HEDGE-IoT aims to lead the charge by deploying cutting-edge IoT assets and advanced AI/ML tools across energy systems, enhancing resilience and unlocking untapped flexibility potential. With a consortium of 42 partners and 3 linked third parties from 13 European Countries comprising of large ICT companies, leading RTOs, SMEs, energy stakeholders, EU-level associations and legal & regulatory expers, HEDGE-IoT offers a comprehensive Digital Framework designed to bridge the cloud/edge continuum and introduce federated applications governed by advanced computational orchestration solutions. Our mission is to create an ecosystem facilitating increased integration of renewable energy sources, promote inclusivity, and cultivate trust among stakeholders through ethical IoT practices. Together, we will drive scalability, replicability, and innovation, shaping a sustainable, decarbonized future. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey! The primary goal of HEDGE-IoT is to deploy an innovative Digital Framework that enhances the resilience and flexibility of energy systems by deploying IoT assets across different levels, adding intelligence to the edge and cloud layers through advanced AI/ML tools, and bridging the cloud/edge continuum with federated applications. This framework aims to upgrade the renewable energy source (RES) hosting capacity, create new market opportunities, promote IoT standardisation, and facilitate the integration of RES into the energy ecosystem, ultimately driving sustainability and inclusivity while fostering scalability and replicability through collaboration with stakeholders and SMEs.
