I-ESA’26

Since its inaugural edition in Geneva in 2005, the I-ESA (Interoperability for Enterprise Systems and Applications) conference series has become the premier international forum for advancing Enterprise Interoperability (EI) – the capacity of organizations and systems to seamlessly collaborate, exchange information, and operate across technological, organizational, and geographic boundaries.

In today’s complex and fast-evolving digital landscape, interoperability is no longer just a technical concern—it is a strategic enabler. The I-ESA conference addresses a broad range of emerging and mission-critical themes, including:

• Digital Sovereignty and Data Governance, ensuring organizations maintain control over their digital assets while engaging in global ecosystems
• Resilient and Sustainable Enterprise Architectures, enabling businesses to adapt to uncertainty while supporting environmental and economic sustainability
• Interoperability in Decentralised and Distributed Systems, such as blockchain, multi-agent systems, and edge computing
• AI-Driven Interoperability and Automation, using artificial intelligence to enhance seamless collaboration between systems and organizations
• Human-Centric Interoperability, where people remain at the center of decision-making and system interaction
• Standardisation and Compliance in Interoperability, promoting global consistency, interoperability-by-design, and regulatory alignment
• Interoperability in Emerging Technologies, exploring integration across technologies like quantum computing, IoT, and digital twins
• AI and Learning Systems for Sovereign and Adaptive Interoperability, enabling smart, self-configuring enterprise systems
• Cybersecurity and Trust in Interoperable Ecosystems, ensuring secure and reliable collaboration across shared infrastructures
• Interoperability for Sustainable Manufacturing and Green Ecosystems, accelerating the shift to low-carbon, circular production models
• AI-Powered Green Energy Systems, enabling intelligent, interoperable, and sustainable energy solutions
• Interoperability for Defense, Security, and Strategic Autonomy, supporting sovereignty in critical national and industrial infrastructures

As global enterprises pursue digital and green transformation amid rising geopolitical and technological complexity, interoperability is now at the heart of achieving resilience, innovation, efficiency, and strategic autonomy.

Why Attend I-ESA’26?

Enterprise Interoperability is essential for modern organizations seeking to thrive in dynamic and collaborative environments. It facilitates seamless information exchange and coordination—internally and across partners, suppliers, customers, and public institutions—helping enterprises improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customization and service quality.

I-ESA’26 will bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and industry stakeholders from around the globe to share insights, experiences, and innovative approaches to enterprise interoperability. The conference serves as a platform to bridge theory and practice, foster cross-sector collaboration, and drive forward the digital and green transitions.

Join us in Funchal, Madeira, a vibrant and scenic location, for an inspiring and impactful edition of I-ESA. Together, let’s shape the future of enterprise systems and applications.
