Each use case describes a real-world challenge in a European industry where regulatory requirements apply, and how Apeiro's technology foundation provides a path forward.
Apeiro is an open reference architecture: a set of proven components, open standards, and technical blueprints. These use cases are not ready-to-deploy products. Turning them into working solutions takes industry expertise, engineering effort, and integration work tailored to your context. Apeiro provides the foundation: open, interoperable, vendor-neutral building blocks that make each of these use cases achievable where lock-in, proprietary APIs, and the absence of open standards previously made them impractical or out of reach.
GDPR · EU AI Act · NIS2 · European Health Data Space
Patient data physically located in the EU can still be legally accessible under foreign law. Apeiro's technology enables health workloads to run on verifiably EU-governed infrastructure, where compliance is enforced at the infrastructure layer, not just written into a contract.
Financial institutions must now hold tested exit plans from their cloud providers. Workloads built on proprietary cloud APIs make this legally required capability practically impossible. Apeiro's open interfaces make portability real.
EU Battery Regulation · ESPR · Catena-X / Manufacturing-X
EU regulation now requires manufacturers to share supply chain and carbon footprint data across thousands of suppliers. Open standards like IDS and tools like Eclipse Tractus-X make federated sharing possible without a central platform. Apeiro provides the open infrastructure foundation on which this model operates.
Most European government IT depends on a small number of non-European cloud providers. Switching is economically prohibitive due to lock-in and exit costs. Open, standardised infrastructure makes switching an operational decision rather than a multi-year engineering project.
Grid operators are now classified as critical infrastructure under NIS2. Energy data, from smart meters to cross-border grid flows, must be shared across operators while each retains control of their own systems. Apeiro's federated architecture makes this possible without a central platform.
Defense agencies operate across multiple security tiers that existing cloud platforms were not designed to span. Apeiro provides cryptographically isolated multi-domain infrastructure with verifiable software provenance from source to deployment, across connected and air-gapped environments alike.
