DATA SPACE 4.0

Setting the Pathway Towards a Common European Manufacturing Data Space

Data Space 4.0 is an Industry 4.0 community that aims to create a unified voice and a governance model to scale up cross-sectorial data spaces in manufacturing. It supports collaboration among stakeholders to establish a harmonized and autonomous rollout of a sovereign European manufacturing data space continuum. The community brings together national Industry 4.0 initiatives, European data space think tanks, industrial associations, knowledge and innovation networks, data 4.0 model standardization initiatives, and European networks for SME digital transformation. Their goal is to identify common principles for sharing industrial data at the EU level. Data Space 4.0 is open to the digital and manufacturing community interested in unlocking new data-powered business models and developing data value chains. It aims to secure growth and economies of scale for future data spaces in manufacturing, with a focus on secure, fair, sovereign, responsible, and cost-effective data sharing in areas such as dynamic asset management, predictive maintenance, and agile supply chain management.
