IDSA High-Level Stakeholder Dialogue & Data Spaces Decade Forum

Trusted data sharing is the enabler of industrial AI, value and growth: It gives AI high-quality data from sovereign sources while data owners keep control over their intellectual property, and it lets organizations unlock new economic value and drive data-driven innovation across companies and borders.

Commit to the pivotal role of data spaces, shape with us how we scale them and help them deliver their full impact – join our dialogue in Berlin on November 3, 2026!

Afternoon | High-Level Stakeholder Dialogue: Trusted data sharing as enabler of industrial AI, value and growth

IDSA‘s Dialogue on November 3, 2026, is an exclusive, closed-door gathering in Berlin for C-level decision-makers from Europe and beyond who are ready to build the business and governance pathways to scale. It is designed to produce concrete commitments rather than speeches.

Ten years in, the foundations are built. A shared architecture, open standards and live deployments prove that organizations can share data across boundaries while keeping control over it. The question is no longer whether trusted data sharing works. It is what that sharing is for, and how to bring it to scale.

The next step is not more technology. Scaling from hundreds of organizations to hundreds of thousands now depends on governance, sustainable financing and political commitment. This is the moment to turn political attention and corporate strategy into durable standards, funding and onboarding, so that data spaces become the trusted data layer for AI, value and growth across industries from mobility and energy to health, agriculture and supply chains.

Discussions will focus on:

• How data spaces give AI trusted, high-quality data from sovereign sources, enabling innovation while data owners keep control over their intellectual property and their assets.
• The purpose of trusted data sharing: trustworthy data, verifiable quality and control over it as the basis for industrial AI, value and growth.
• Why the next step is not more technology: how governance, sustainable financing and political will turn a proven foundation into broad adoption.
• Clear public commitments from leaders who align and act.
• Testimonials from long-standing members on why data spaces are indispensable to driving the digital transformation.
• The presentation of a joint executive statement on shared challenges, clear commitments and joint actions, which participants are invited to endorse.
• How global coordination strengthens competitiveness, collaboration and trust through networks and standards.
• Standards as accelerators: how interoperability unlocks adoption at scale.
