The Open Edge Computing InitiativeThe Open Edge Computing (OEC) Initiative was a collective effort by multiple companies, driving the business opportunities and technologies surrounding edge computing. The OEC operated from the beginnings of edge computing (2014) until broad industry momentum was achieved (2022).

The Living Edge Lab was an OEC founder and key leader.
