The Edge 4.0 Initiative was first announced at a meeting on 20 February 2020. The purpose of the Initiative is to provide methods, metrics, and models to facilitate the most rapid adoption and proliferation of edge solutions possible. This means support for standards and best practice development, as well as tactical support for the design, development, and delivery of edge related transformations. Edge 4.0 comprises a category of policies, programs, practices, protocols, processes, and products which parallel developments in Industry 4.0 and other existing 4.0 market development initiatives.

Funding for the Edge 4.0 Initiative comes from Advisory Sponsors and the use of the EdgePoint market journey process as a franchise model organizations can adapt to their own requirements. Digital Architectures (www.dxarcs.com) provides the business, operational, and technical support for product and service delivery in the EdgePoint program. The home page for the Edge 4.0 Initiative is www.edge40.org.

The goal of the Edge 4.0 program is to support the attainment of $4T in world wide Edge solution revenue by the end of the year 2030. Any mission component developed under the auspices of the Edge 4.0 initiative will be verified to be of importance to that objective prior to its initiation and validated for its contribution to that objective upon completion of all milestones.

This material will be regularly updated by the designated Edge 4.0 Initiative representative.
