MDS on tour

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.

Through its presence and dialogue at these events, the MDS continuously makes new industry contacts. As a result, the network of the data sharing community continues to grow and offers a valuable platform for customised matchmaking between data providers and data consumers.

On 8 February, a theme day was held in Stuttgart on the benefits of data spaces in the cross-domain value chain. The focus was on discussing the various aspects and offerings of data marketplaces and their synergy potential.

A central point was trust, which is an important component for progress in data exchange. Given the multitude of data spaces and initiatives currently emerging, interoperability is of great importance. It makes it possible to find common ground in terms of standards, technology and governance.
