Built to educate, connect, and inspire Brazilian industry partners, these demonstrators now cross the Atlantic to show an international audience what trusted, sovereign data sharing looks like when it actually runs.
The question is no longer if data will be shared, but how.
Industrial data spaces are no longer a future discussion. Across global value chains, companies face mounting pressure: transparency requirements, sustainability reporting, cross‑border collaboration, and digital interoperability. All without sacrificing control over their data.
Both Brazilian demonstrators showcased at Hannover Messe offer a clear answer: data sharing without centralization, without loss of sovereignty, and with governance built in by design.
ELDORADO’s BrasAuto Demonstrator: automotive coordination without data exposure
At the ELDORADO stand, visitors are invited into a simulated automotive logistics data space, one that feels strikingly close to real industrial operations.
The BrasAuto Demonstrator connects three fictional but realistic roles: a vehicle manufacturer, a parts supplier, and a logistics service provider. Each operates its own IDS Connector. Each decides which operational data is shared and under which usage policies.
What flows through the data space are confirmed plans, inventory levels, consumption data, and logistics execution events. What stays strictly local are forecasts, optimization logic, and analytical models.
For visitors, the value lies in seeing how an IDSA‑compliant data space can reduce coordination friction in complex supply chains while preserving competitive integrity. It is a clear, accessible learning environment designed to make data sovereignty understandable, not abstract.
ABINC’s Federated Industrial Data Space: trust across borders
Where ELDORADO zooms into automotive logistics, ABINC broadens the lens. Its Federated Industrial Data Space Demonstrator, developed in a Brazil–European collaboration, shows how industrial data can travel across companies, sectors, and even continents.
The demonstrator focuses on low‑risk, high‑value industrial indicators: machine states, operating hours, downtime reasons, and energy consumption. These indicators enable benchmarking, efficiency analysis, ESG reporting, and operational learning, while sensitive production data remains protected.
There is no central database. No platform lock‑in. Instead, governance rules, purpose limitation, and consent are embedded directly into the technical architecture.
At Hannover Messe, this demonstrator tells a compelling story for international visitors. Cross‑border industrial cooperation is possible today, if trust is engineered and not assumed.
Two paths, one shared principle
While the two demonstrators address different industrial contexts, they converge on the same core idea. Data spaces are not about sharing more data but about sharing the right data, under the right conditions.
Both were built primarily as educational environments to help Brazilian companies, institutions, and policymakers understand what data spaces mean in practice. At Hannover Messe, they now invite the global community to step inside functioning, IDSA‑aligned ecosystems.
These demonstrators allow visitors to:
- see IDSA principles applied end‑to‑end
- understand governance not as theory, but as a running system
- explore how trust can be embedded into technology—not negotiated case by case

If you want to explore how industrial data spaces are moving from strategic vision to measurable business value, join IDSA at Hannover Messe in Hall 27, Booth F60 – partner pod at the OPC Foundation.
On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, IDSA hosts Industrial Data Spaces in Action – Simple, Scalable, Profitable, a dedicated event for industry leaders and IT decision‑makers who want to understand how sovereign data sharing moves from strategy to execution — and how it delivers measurable business value.
The event will take place on April 21, 13:00 to 16:30, in the Hannover Messe Convention Center, room 18.
