Industrial Data Spaces in Action – Simple, Scalable, Profitable | Hannover Messe 2026

Industrial Data Spaces in Action – Simple, Scalable, Profitable is IDSA’s event during Hannover Messe 2026. The event will take place on April 21, 13:00 to 16:30, in the Hannover Messe Convention Center, room 18.

In addition, participants are invited to join the Live Data Space Journey, a guided tour across data space exhibits throughout the Hannover Messe fairgrounds on April 21 at 10:00. Starting at the Cofinity-X partner stand (Plattform Industrie 4.0, Hall 13, C24), the tour offers short demos and insights at multiple data space booths, providing a practical overview of current implementations.

The afternoon event Industrial Data Spaces in Action focuses on industrial data spaces and trusted data sharing, designed for industry leaders and IT decision-makers who want to understand how to move from strategy to execution – and how to realize measurable business value through sovereign, scalable data collaboration.

Topics include onboarding and integration, accelerating adoption across industries, and the economic impact of data sharing – from new service models to supply chain optimization, PCF, DPP and battery passports. Real-life use cases illustrate practical implementation and outcomes:

From strategy to adoption: Understand how data spaces have evolved from architectural framework to operational reality – and why adoption is accelerating across industries.
Simplified onboarding: See how organizations can technically and organizationally connect to a data space with minimal complexity. Integration is no longer a barrier.
Business value through collaboration: Learn how secure, sovereign data sharing enables
– New service models
– Cross-company process optimization
– Supply chain transparency and resilience
– Digital product and battery passport innovation
– Monetization of data-driven services
Real-life use cases: Real examples demonstrating how companies are already benefiting from scalable data space participation.
