IDSA Accelerates Gaia-X with the Data Spaces Concept

An infrastructure for data exchange

Gaia-X debuted at the Digital Summit 2019. IDSA has been very active in Gaia-X from day one and is a founding member of the Gaia-X AISBL, the organization’s not-for-profit association, with several IDSA staff members holding key administrative and technical roles.

Gaia-X AISBL is developing so-called federated services as the basis for an interoperable data infrastructure for Europe. These are based on common standards and a guarantee of transparency and trustworthiness. Technical implementation depends on having the IDS standard as a market-ready starting point with a five-year development lead to accelerate the timeline.

IDS standard as access code for data economy

The IDS standard defines how protected data spaces can be set up and how the access points to such a data space must be designed.

"As an open standard, IDS In this way IDS guarantees data security for all parties involved in the exchange of sensitive and valuable data sets, ensures a level playing field and enforces data sovereignty with technical measures”, says Lars Nagel, CEO of IDSA. "It’s the access code unlocking a new economy in which data can be used for new products, services and efficiencies, safely and securely."
