Today, they are a tangible reality – driving impact across industries, enabling new value networks, and shaping the future of data-driven innovation and trustworthy AI. To mark this milestone, we invite you to Berlin on November 3, 2026, to build on the progress of the past ten years and pave the way for the future.

The day starts with an exclusive strategic dialogue – followed by an evening reception to celebrate the decade together.

Afternoon | High-Level Stakeholder Dialogue: Trusted data sharing with a purpose: industrial AI, value and growth

This exclusive session brings together C-level leaders and high-profile decision-makers in Berlin for a closed-door gathering on the next decade of data spaces — those who already understand the fundamentals, the potential, and the impact of trusted data sharing, and are ready to build the business and governance pathways to scale.

Ten years in, the question is no longer whether organizations can share data across boundaries. It is what that sharing is for. Trustworthy data, verifiable data quality and control over intellectual property rights are the conditions for making industry AI-ready.

Discussions will focus on:

• Data spaces provide AI with trusted, high-quality data from sovereign sources, enabling innovation while respecting intellectual property rights and ensuring data owners retain control over their assets.
• A strategic exchange on the purpose of trusted data sharing: trustworthy data, data quality and control over IP as the basis for AI-ready industry
• Clear public commitments from leaders who can align, commit and act.
• Testimonials from long-standing members on why data spaces are indispensable to completing the digital transformation.
• The presentation of a joint executive statement on shared challenges and joint actions, which participants are invited to endorse.
• A global perspective on how international coordination strengthens competitiveness, collaboration and trust.
• Standards as accelerators: how interoperability unlocks adoption at scale.

This exclusive gathering is dedicated to those ready to commit, align, and act – and to help shape how economies, societies, and countries move forward with data spaces, globally.

Evening | Data Spaces Decade Forum: A decade of pioneering. A future of impact

What the Stakeholder Dialogue does at the highest level – shaping the global direction of data spaces and trusted data sharing – the Data Spaces Decade Forum celebrates with everyone: ten years in which IDSA became a leading, globally heard voice in this field.
