Dome Marketplace

Funded under the Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL-2021-CLOUD-AI-01) and coordinated by Engineering Ingegneria Informatica, in collaboration with the FIWARE Foundation as technical coordinator, the project aims to deploy a Distributed Open Marketplace for Cloud and Edge Services in Europe. A consortium of 38 partners, coming from 14 EU Member States, including large enterprises, SMEs, research institutions, non-profit organisations and public bodies has the ambition to: 1. Deploy the technical infrastructure of the marketplace platform, with strong customer focus, user-friendliness, inclusion and equality principles. Operate the platform based on security, energy and resource efficiency, data protection, ethical standards and portability requirements. Ensure the integration of state-of-the-art identity and access management services on the marketplace platform to support its operation. Design a curation/vetting process for services offered in the marketplace, notably for sector-specific services in regulated sectors (e.g. health, energy, finance…). Implement interconnections with similar marketplaces and service catalogues that already exist in some member states. Enable access, through a single EU portal, to an online catalogue of existing cloud-to-edge based service offerings that are compliant with a pre-defined set of EU rules and requirements available in the forthcoming EU Cloud Rulebook. Implement a service brokerage functionality to enable transactions between providers and users to take place in the Marketplace. Ensure a vendor-neutral technical architecture and reference framework. The project has a duration of 36 months, it started in January 2023 and will end in December 2025.
