Come to where the action is!
Welcome to IDSA’s “workshop” where theory meets practice and ideas are put into action. Our members work in teams to co-create the IDS standard; and build IDS based solutions for their own domains to push IDS further towards market-readiness. It’s exciting, it’s happening now and it only needs you to go the next mile.
Use Cases
IDS use cases take the IDS concept from the drawing board into the real world. Our members are working together to develop and implement real-life instances that demonstrate how IDS research can be applied to actual industry challenges.
Working Groups
Our working groups are IDSA members co-creating the standards and characteristics for international data spaces. Join us!
Hubs
The IDSA has inspired a strong network of international hubs that share knowledge and information about IDS in countries across Europe, and soon the entire world.
R&D Projects
IDSA leaves a footprint in European and national research – these projects are important pillars to bring IDS to life, to develop fundamental concepts, to test proofs of concepts and to stimulate the adoption and proliferation of IDS
Communities
IDS Communities are aligning tomorrow’s data solutions with common business needs across all industries and domains of activity. There are currently four IDS Communities, consisting of relevant stakeholders from industry, research and government, developing blueprints for data sovereignty in mobility, industry, logistics and the medical field.
Liaisons
IDSA’s liaisons are major digital initiatives that are working with IDSA to connect IDS concepts and standards with broad-based national and industry digital strategies, business needs and specific applications worldwide.

When businesses can really trust their data-sharing ecosystem, it stimulates innovation, eases processes and drives growth!
