BDI Data Space Incubator

The primary goal of the BDI data space incubator is to kick-start and accelerate the adoption of association-supported data spaces within specific groups that already collaborate closely in the physical world.

Catalysing digital business

The incubator acts as a catalyst, fostering a secure, reliable, and fast way to do business digitally. Participants will be furnished with the knowledge and support to achieve this objective. Furthermore, participants will have access to a minimum viable data space representing the data space’s core technical components. This core can then be expanded with building blocks to tailor the data space to the group’s specific needs. Providing the necessary resources enables these closely working parties to streamline their data exchange processes.

Key ambitions

The data space incubator program strives to achieve several key ambitions:

• Increase traction on data spaces: By fostering the creation of data spaces within distinct branches, the program aims to amplify the adoption and utilization of this transformative technology. As more parties embrace data spaces, the value of data-driven collaboration will become increasingly evident across industries.
• Prove data spaces’ feasibility: The incubator seeks to demonstrate that data spaces are not just theoretical concepts but practical solutions with real-world applicability. By working closely with participants, we aim to showcase tangible results and success stories, building confidence in the potential of data spaces.
• Establish concrete tools for federative data spaces: We are committed to creating and communicating concrete tools that simplify and expedite the establishment of federative data spaces. These tools will empower participants to navigate the technical complexities and build their interconnected ecosystems.
• Ready to go live: Each data space is created with the purpose of going into production.

Becoming data experts

Participants will improve their data practices and become pioneers in creating data spaces. From understanding the technical intricacies of data integration to developing a cohesive data governance framework, our experts will guide participants at every step.

Participation in the data space incubator

It starts with a group of organizations that already share a close working relationship in the real world. These organizations have a shared vision and common interests, and are committed to achieving their goals collaboratively.

Synergizing and creating value collectively
The common goal these organizations pursue can span a wide range of objectives. For instance, they may aim to enhance operational efficiency, adhere to compliance demands, improve data-driven decision-making, or foster innovation in their fields. Whatever the aspirations, the data space incubator offers an opportunity for these like-minded organizations to synergize their efforts and create value collectively.

Tackling challenges
Within the data space incubator, participants will collaboratively tackle challenges they encounter daily. These challenges could be related to data integration, security, privacy, or governance. By pooling their expertise and knowledge, they will work towards building a robust solution in the form of a federated data space.

Dynamic environment
Moreover, the incubator provides the necessary tools, technical support, and expert guidance to ensure the successful realization of the participants’ shared vision. They can expect a dynamic environment that fosters innovation, promotes learning, and facilitates open communication among the parties involved.

Harnessing collective intelligence
The federated data space forms the backbone of doing digital business, enabling seamless data exchange, providing trust, and facilitating collaborative problem-solving. By establishing this interconnected ecosystem, participants will unlock new possibilities and harness the collective intelligence of the group.

Lasting network of collaborators
Ultimately, as these parties work together to create a federated data space, they will overcome existing challenges and pave the way for future growth and expansion. The shared experience of building and managing the data space will strengthen their bond and create a lasting network of trusted collaborators.

Making meaningful impact
Joining the data space incubator offers these closely aligned parties an opportunity to elevate their operations, explore new avenues for growth, and collectively shape the future of their industries. By leveraging the power of collaboration and technology, they will unleash the full potential of their data-driven initiatives – making a meaningful impact on their respective domains and beyond.
