Data exchange, expertise and support:
this is how participants benefit
Offer and purchase data
The Mobility Data Space connects people who offer mobility data with people who need it to develop and run new business models – simply, transparently, securely and with full added value for both sides. Providers maintain full data sovereignty at all times, meaning they decide who can use their data and for what purpose.
Access to service providers
The Mobility Data Space offers access to a broad network of service providers called the MDS Service Partners. They support participants at every step of the process, be it onboarding, identity management or business development.
Exchange with industry experts
The MDS Forum brings together experts from start-ups, SMEs, public transport, municipalities, politics and science. Participants benefit from numerous, exclusive exchange and informative events.

EDC: Connecting with the MDS
The Eclipse Data Space Connector (EDC) is an open-source software component that provides a secure, simple and efficient connection to data spaces and their participants. With the EDC, using data spaces is simple and reliable, independent of platforms and ecosystems. The decentralized architecture ensures your data security and maintains sovereignty.
With the EDC, using the Mobility Data Space becomes quite simple. As of April 2023, the EDC is in use at the MDS.
