Eight inspiring presentations, three powerful panels and a fantastic location at DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum in Berlin – together with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG, we hosted the big MDS Community Event 2025. This year's motto: ‘Vehicle data in motion – pathways to a connected mobility future’
The bottom line of the day: we need to understand the value of data – it is the fuel for our shared future.
The Mobility Data Space is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV), represented by Minister Patrick Schnieder.

At important national and international conferences, congresses and trade fairs, the MDS regularly exchanges ideas and follows current developments in the industry. As an exhibitor, keynote speaker or panellist, representatives of the MDS provide interested trade visitors with insights into the processes of an operating data room.
