The company also revealed collaboration with Schneider Electric to integrate MICROEJ VEE technology in Industrial IoT products. Products 
MICROEJ VEE (Virtual Execution Environment) comes in the form of a runtime environment and its associated software libraries for running containers (also called virtual machines) reproducing the behavior of embedded systems. MicroEJ uses Instruction Set hardware virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers and enable the creation of app stores. MicroEJ also provides a simulator allowing the development of software applications on virtual devices (actual embedded devices simulated on workstations). MicroEJ provides an IDE based on Eclipse for creating embedded software and applications on desktop. MICROEJ SDK supports programming languages such as C, Java, Javascript, and Kotlin. Applications can also be developed using Android Studio and Gradle. References
