One Year of DOME Marketplace

DOME Marketplace: one year on - what it is and why it matters

CloudFerro, as a partner in the EU-funded DOME (Distributed Open Marketplace for Europe) project, is helping build a federated marketplace where European organisations can discover, compare, and procure trusted cloud, edge and AI services in one place. Launched in mid-2024, the DOME Marketplace tackles market fragmentation by connecting providers, integrators, certification bodies and customers across borders, aligned with EU values and digital-sovereignty goals.

What’s new after year one

• Public listings & visible pricing plus end-to-end online ordering (order management, billing, invoicing, payments) make procurement simpler for buyers and sellers.
• “Publish once” federation: providers list a service once and can appear across multiple marketplaces, expanding reach while reducing overhead. 
• A growing catalogue - from ~72 offers at launch to nearly 120 - with continuous onboarding of new providers.

What’s coming next

• Advanced reporting (financial & operational) and online tender management tailored to public-sector procurement are planned next, alongside UX and performance improvements.
