A specific challenge is to leverage existing technology strengths to develop solutions that sustain the European industry and values.<br \/>\nIoT-NGIN introduces novel research and innovation concepts, acting as the \u201cIoT Engine\u201d which will fuel the Next Generation of IoT as a part of the European Next Generation Internet. IoT-NGIN uncovers a patterns based meta-architecture that encompasses evolving, legacy, and future IoT architectures. The project also optimizes IoT\/M2M and 5G\/MCM communications, including using secure-by-design micro-services to extend the edge cloud paradigm.Moreover, it enables\u00a0IoT systems to be\u00a0self-aware and autonomous through privacy-preserving federated ML and ambient intelligence with AR support for humans. Distributed IoT cybersecurity and privacy, for example, using Self-Sovereign Identities and interconnected DLTs to implement Meta-Level Digital Twins, are also among the main priorities of IoT-NGIN.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;794&#8243;
