On 12th November 2025, the InEExS project successfully delivered a specialised technical webinar aimed at enhancing partners’ capabilities in secure, privacy-preserving digital solutions for the energy sector. Led by experts from Energy Web, the session focused on Verified Compute—a decentralised framework that enables robust computation close to data sources through cryptographic attestations, enabling continuous audibility and GDPR-aligned data handling.
The webinar brought together technical partners, platform integrators, potential replicants, and representatives from all pilot use cases. Energy Web provided a structured introduction to the principles behind Verified Compute, emphasising how its decentralised architecture reduces the need for centralised data aggregation, strengthens cybersecurity, and supports InEExS services such as flexibility forecasting, digital twins, demand-side optimisation, and secure data exchange. Participants learned how Worker Nodes can operate across different layers of the energy system—edge devices, gateways, or cloud environments—allowing automated and robust data-based processes without exposing sensitive information.
A live demonstration guided attendees through the full lifecycle of a compute task, from job submission to execution at the edge and the generation of verifiable outputs. This showcased the potential of cryptographic proofs to support transparency and traceability, aligning with regulatory expectations for high-integrity energy data systems. The architecture’s cloud-agnostic nature was highlighted as a strong enabler of interoperability and vendor neutrality, both core objectives of the InEExS project.
The interactive discussion that followed focused on practical deployment considerations. Participants raised questions about integrating Energy Web Worker Nodes into existing IoT infrastructures at pilot sites, understanding expected latency and performance for flexibility-related use cases, and exploring how attestations can strengthen the project’s cybersecurity and monitoring frameworks. The feasibility of scaling Worker Nodes for near-real-time computations was also a key area of interest.
With Energy Web Worker Nodes already deployed across all InEExS business cases, the webinar marked a clear milestone in preparing for scale-up, and future replication of the technology. This capacity-building session represents an important step toward establishing robust, interoperable, and secure digital solutions capable of supporting Europe’s evolving energy transition.
