Two key actors in the European Data Spaces landscape have joined forces. On the 4th and 5th of December, Luxembourg National Data Services (LNDS) and five Gaia-X hubs (Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands) organise intriguing discussions around data and share impact projects through various use cases and demonstrations, both nationally and on a cross-border scale.
Data Summit Luxembourg – 4th of December
The Data Summit Luxembourg will provide with inspiring knowledge, fruitful discussions and intriguing impact projects, demonstrating value creation from multiple sources of data. On the road to becoming the leading international event for public sector data, the Data Summit is created and hosted by the Luxembourg National Data Services (LNDS). LNDS will hold its inaugural launch event on the morning of Monday 4th December, and the first Data Summit Luxembourg meeting for the data-savvy audience in the afternoon.
