The IoT Tech Expo 2025 in Amsterdam represents one of the most relevant events in Europe for engaging with the IoT, cloud-edge, and distributed computing ecosystem. This premier conference offers a strategic platform for leading European research and innovation projects to showcase groundbreaking developments, foster collaboration, and connect with key industrial stakeholders.

A strong collective presence of next-generation Meta-Operating System (Meta-OS) initiatives will be featured at the event, including aerOS, NebulOuS, ICOS, NEPHELE, FLUIDOS, and NEMO. These Horizon Europe projects are shaping the future of smart systems and IoT applications across verticals such as manufacturing, mobility, energy, smart buildings, agriculture, and media.

• aerOS will present impactful results around its open-source Meta-OS, which is being leveraged by major European industry players (e.g., Siemens, John Deere, ELECTRUM, OTE, EGCTL). The project highlights include an innovative federation and orchestration approach, which transfers well to real-world concerns such as vehicle or robots swarms in agriculture or manufacturing (among others) and the growth of a vibrant innovation ecosystem through cascade funding and cross-sector adoption.
  
• NebulOuS will showcase its innovative Meta-Operating System designed to broker hyper-distributed applications across the cloud-edge continuum. With a strong focus on fog orchestration and cloud interoperability, the project will highlight advancements made through its Open Call pilots and demonstrate its contributions to AI-driven, adaptive resource management.
  
• ICOS will present its open, modular, and interoperable framework for enhancing trust, resilience, and performance in heterogeneous infrastructures. Through its open-source toolbox and engagement in standardization, ICOS is enabling sustainable orchestration for edge-to-cloud applications across sectors like smart cities, automotive, and energy.
  
• NEPHELE will demonstrate its innovations, including Virtual Object Stack (VOStack), an open-source software stack that supports the virtualization ofIoT devices and the development ofDigital Twins, and its synergetic meta-orchestration platform for managing deployments of distributed applications across compute and network resources in the computing continuum.
  
• FLUIDOS will highlight its flexible, decentralized, and secure Meta-OS architecture that orchestrates resources and workloads seamlessly across heterogeneous infrastructures. It will share outcomes from its Technology Extension and Use Case Open Calls, reinforcing its mission of creating scalable, energy-efficient, and intelligent distributed systems.
  
• NEMO will showcase its cybersecure, modular Meta-OS and its efforts in enabling AI-as-a-Service for smart resource management. Validated across multiple verticals—including smart farming, energy, industry, and media—NEMO aims to provide a seamless AIoT-edge-cloud continuum and dynamic micro-service orchestration.
  

Together, these initiatives represent a unified commitment to open-source innovation, European technological sovereignty, and the advancement of edge-to-cloud intelligence. The IoT Tech Expo Amsterdam 2025 offers an unmatched opportunity for these projects to increase visibility, foster collaboration, and accelerate adoption of their results in real-world environments.
