Strategic Partnerships GÉANT actively expands collaboration with global research and education networks and key providers (CERNET, Commons Conservancy, EUMETSAT, Sparkle), signaling ongoing opportunities for co-innovation, interconnection services, and joint go-to-market initiatives.

Open Science Platform Being named a candidate Node in the EOSC Federation positions GÉANT as a pivotal hub for open science infrastructure, suggesting sales potential around federated identity, data access, storage, and cross-border research collaboration tools.

Identity and Access Development of MyAccessID leveraging UmbrellaID foundations indicates a focus on scalable, secure authentication for research communities, creating upsell opportunities for identity management, access governance, and federated services.

AI and Networking Recent AI NREN Group initiatives and expanded interconnection capacity with CERNET imply demand for advanced network services, AI-ready infrastructure, high-capacity interconnects, and optimized data paths for scientific workloads.

Cloud and Services Partnerships with service providers like Sparkle and multi-stakeholder renewals with EUMETSAT reflect a market for managed networking, cloud interconnect, and heritage in delivering reliable, education-focused digital services at scale.
