The PyCon Greece 2025, held on 29–30 August 2025 at the Technopolis City of Athens in Athens, marked the first edition of this major conference for the Greek and broader European Python ecosystem. The event brought together developers, data scientists, open-source enthusiasts and professionals from across the region to exchange knowledge, collaborate and explore new possibilities for Python-powered innovation.
At this inaugural gathering, the ENACT team was honored to participate and present its ongoing work on the Cognitive Computing Continuum (CCC), showcasing how distributed AI, edge–cloud orchestration and sovereign data spaces are realized in practice. The presence of ENACT at PyCon Greece offered a unique platform to engage directly with the developer community, highlight the project’s open-source SDK, and emphasize the role of Python as a bridge between research and industrial deployment.
During the conference, several key messages emerged:
- Python remains the glue enabling rapid prototyping, flexible orchestration and deployment across heterogeneous compute layers.
- The vitality of community-driven open source and knowledge sharing was a recurring theme — essential for building trustworthy, scalable and data-intensive systems.
- The Greek Python community displayed strong energy and an eagerness to connect EU research initiatives with global development ecosystems.
ENACT’s contribution specifically focused on how the project’s SDK enables adaptive application behaviour depending on deployment environment, and how secure, policy-based object exchange supports modular orchestration across edge and cloud layers. In doing so, the team underscored how open architectures and developer-friendly tools are central to realising resilient distributed systems.
Participation in PyCon Greece not only allowed ENACT to share insights but also strengthened the project’s positioning within the Python-centric and open-source ecosystems. Networking with practitioners and contributors from local and international communities fostered dialogue and potential collaborations, offering direct paths for bridging research outcomes with real-world adoption.
The consortium extended its thanks to the conference organizers, volunteers and all attendees who engaged in meaningful discussion. ENACT remains committed to advancing collaboration, open-source tooling and developer empowerment as core enablers for the cognitive computing continuum. As the project moves forward, the connections formed in Athens provide strong momentum for future outreach, development and deployment of next-generation distributed intelligence infrastructures.
