6th Symposium on Circular Economy and Sustainability
2025-06-17 | Ramada Plaza, Alexandroupolis, Greece
On 17 June, iLINK participated in the 6th Symposium on Circular Economy and Sustainability in Alexandroupolis, Greece. Dr. Georgios Angelopoulos from iLINK had the opportunity to share insights from COP-PILOT Horizon. Georgios presented our work on transforming the agrifood chain through blockchain technology and smart logistics solutions, making food systems more transparent, traceable, and efficient.
The presentation focused on two key use cases from Cluster 3A (Agriculture) within the COP-PILOT project. In this Cluster, iLINK is responsible for securing data sharing and smart logistics for agri-food supply chains. These use cases are fully aligned with the Hourglass Model (developed by the CEI-Sphere Consortium), as they rely on a layered and modular system design that allows different technologies (IoT sensors, UAVs, robots, cloud platforms) to work together through a common data layer. Ontologies are also used to ensure all systems understand and exchange data consistently, enabling traceability, automation, and collaboration.

ETSI ISG CIM Plenary
2025-06-10 - 2025-06-13 | FIWARE, Germany
From 10 to 13 June 2025, the ETSI ISG CIM Plenary took place at the FIWARE office in Berlin, bringing together experts and stakeholders to advance the specification of Context Broker technologies.
During this event, our partner from NetFoundry had been invited by the FIWARE Foundation to remotely present the COP-PILOT consortium and contributed to the discussion by presenting the project’s innovative approach to secure integration.
During the plenary, NetFoundry introduced the Secure Integration Fabric (SIF) layer within the COP-PILOT architecture. This component is key to enabling secure, intelligent, and policy-based data exchange across multiple domains and infrastructures. Their presentation explored how the SIF concept aligns with the Context Broker model, enhancing interoperability, trust, and orchestration in highly distributed environments.
This engagement, along with the ongoing standardization activities across Context Brokers, reflects COP-PILOT’s active role in shaping the future of AI-augmented, context-aware digital services through close collaboration with leading standardization bodies.

OSL#6 Plenary Meeting
2025-05-22 | Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain
On May 22, 2025, University of Patras and Ubitech will participate in the OpenSlice Plenary Meeting #6 (OSL#6), taking place in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain.
The University of Patras, a member of both the Leadership Group (LG) and the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) of OpenSlice, will present the current status of the platform in preparation for its upcoming release.
UBITECH, also a member of the Technical Steering Committee, will present its technical contributions to OpenSlice, which are set to be included in the next release.
In the COP-PILOT project, OpenSlice is a key technological component. Acting as the infrastructure orchestrator, it is responsible for managing compute and network resources within the project’s operational environment, in support of COP-PILOT’s objectives. Maestro is also a technological component of COP-PILOT, acting as the end-to-end service orchestrator. Maestro participates as an open-source project in the ecosystem around OpenSlice, highlighting use cases where multiple OpenSlice instances are used to manage different domains (owned by different entities), yet Maestro can coordinate these domains to achieve multi-domain service deployments.
A mini demonstration is given by UBITECH showing a scenario where Maestro orders services across 2 OpenSlice domains, highlighting the need for OpenSlice to provide location-aware services to Maestro. This is a crucial feature for COP-PILOT that will soon be addressed allowing for true – location-aware – inter-testbed deployments.
