Imagine different companies have their own locked digital vaults of information. Usually, these vaults can't talk to each other, creating silos. This project builds a universal adapter that lets these vaults exchange specific data securely without the owner losing control of who uses it.
Companies cannot share valuable data with partners because they fear losing control over their information or cannot connect incompatible data systems.
An Intersector DataSpace Toolkit (IDT) consisting of a Broker for network operation and modules for data filtering and labeling.
If you are a precision farming equipment provider dealing with fragmented soil and crop data across different platforms — this project developed an Intersector DataSpace Toolkit (IDT) that allows secure data exchange between sectors to improve crop yields.
If you are a smart city infrastructure operator dealing with isolated data silos between transport and energy providers — this project developed a modular software infrastructure that connects these sources for better city-wide management.
If you are an industrial AI developer dealing with a lack of high-quality, confidential training data — this project developed a way to integrate private company data into AI/LLM processes while protecting the owner's rights.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost models are provided as this is a research and innovation action.
Yes, the project aims to enable a data economy worth hundreds of billions of Euros by providing a modular software infrastructure and a Broker for fail-safe network operations.
Based on available project data, the system uses legally binding contracts to define data rights and ensure data sovereignty for the owner.
The solution uses an Intersector DataSpace Toolkit (IDT) that is deployed at each data source or space to connect them to other enabled sources.
The project is designed to protect the sovereign rights of data owners and comply with European data regulations.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 10 industrial partners (59% ratio), including 7 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, spanning 9 countries, suggests the resulting software is being built for real-world market requirements rather than purely academic interest.
