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.
