Vision
Any company or administration, independently of its size, activity sector or location should be granted a sovereign access and a fair participation in the single European market and data spaces and gain equalbenefits from the digital, data and intelligence economy.
The vision lies on four pillars:
- Proliferation of a number of federated sectorial common data sharing spaces (public and private, trusted, open and interoperable).
- Generalised adoption of digital international standards.
- Rooting of a regional and national culture for (industrial) data quality.
- Promotion the emergence of strategic digital value chains.
Mission
Provide the national meeting point to facilitate a harmonized and sovereign development of data-driven digital ecosystems and common (industrial) data sharing spaces.
Activities
To contribute with the development of the national “federation” of the European Data Space and facilitate the global proliferation of the IDS approach and the evolution towards an international standard for data sovereignty activities, IDSA Hub Spain, supports 5 main types of activities: technology development, business development, ecosystem development, skill development and SME support.
