Data Spaces for Manufacturing – current state of play

This webinar aims to discuss the current state of play in Data Spaces for Manufacturing. Experts, companies, and business associations are invited to join the discussion and give their views.

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence and data-intensive applications in manufacturing and process industries requires the wide availability of data and tools, supported by the appropriate knowledge on how to make the best use of them in an industrial environment.

As part of the European Strategy for Data, the European Commission supports the creation of data spaces for the manufacturing sector to ensure enhanced access to privately-held data, via industrial data platforms. These data spaces will offer a secure and trusted environment for companies to share their data based upon voluntary agreements. In such context, the manufacturing sector can benefit from shared infrastructures, systems and processes for the development and continuous improvement of data-intensive applications and artificial intelligence systems.

To reach this objective, EU Commission organised a number of workshops dedicated to discuss what can be done to implement data spaces. This webinar aims to take stock and move forward the open debate on how to set up and grow data spaces for manufacturing in Europe. It will build on the results of the workshop on 6 May 2020.
