Data Spaces Decade Forum & 5th BAIDATA Forum

Join us in Bilbao for a special event and reception on the eve of the BAIDATA Forum, as the IDSA celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Data Spaces Decade Forum: A decade of pioneering, a future of impact | June 10, 2026

Over the past ten years, data spaces have evolved from a visionary concept into a tangible reality — driving impact across industries, enabling new value networks, and shaping the future of data-driven innovation and trustworthy AI. The Data Spaces Decade Gathering brings together global leaders, experts, and innovators to celebrate this progress and to explore what lies ahead.

The day begins with an exclusive Global Data Spaces Roundtable, continuing a series of high-level dialogues previously held in Barcelona and Beijing. It is followed by sessions highlighting how coordination, community, and value creation are advancing data ecosystems. Inspiring keynotes, expert perspectives, and milestone pitches connect past achievements with future opportunities—while showing how accessible solutions are enabling companies of all sizes to participate and accelerating real-world adoption.

The evening concludes with a reception and gala dinner, celebrating a decade of collaboration, innovation, and impact.

The 5th BAIDATA Forum: Making Data Spaces Work | June 11, 2026

While the IDSA has shaped the global vision of trusted data sharing, BAIDATA has successfully localized this vision in Iberia — demonstrating real business value in practice. Building on the June 10 event, the conversation continues at the BAIDATA Forum on June 11, shifting from reflection to execution.

In 2026, the focus moves decisively from concept to implementation. The market is no longer asking what data spaces are, but how to deploy and scale them. The forum showcases real-world adoption and measurable impact — connecting the vision of the European Commission with national implementation, highlighting global developments, and bringing together industry, public sector, and solution providers to present concrete use cases and ready-to-deploy solutions.
