Our mission and vision

IDSA is on a mission to create a digital future, across Europe and around the world; in which all players can realize the full value of their data through equal access to secure and sovereign data exchange among trusted partners.

The most trusted standard in the world

We envision trusted data exchange taking place through federated, international data spaces that are globally certified by IDSA. IDS-certified products, services and systems open the door to a data economy in which businesses can share data up and down the value chain without security concerns. This approach will support new business models and enable a data economy based on true collaboration and trust, defined by data usage rules that are self-determined by data providers themselves.

Data Sovereignty

IDSA aims to enable data providers, of all types and sizes, to determine what happens to their data and define how, when and at what price others may use it across the value chain. We call this data sovereignty.

Data Spaces

Our vision depends on data spaces – which comprise relationships between trusted partners that are governed by the IDSA standard for secure and sovereign data exchange, certification and governance for business and industry across Europe and around the world.

Global standard

We aim to create a global standard for International Data Spaces (IDS), as well as fostering technologies and business models that will drive the data economy of the future in Europe and around the globe.
