Parties interested in deploying a data space need to use the right technologies and need to make sure they get the business and governance of the data space right. This is easier said than done, because there is relatively little guidance on how to deploy a data space successfully. What guidance can be given?
In the Netherlands, there are various initiatives that are working on improving the digital position of the country. How do the CoE-DSC and Topsector ICT collaborate? What are data sharing trends and how can we shape the future?
Data spaces and Privacy Enhancing Technologies have a common goal: making insights from data accessible in a confidential manner. But the development of both is driven by two different communities.

The Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) has announced the recent release of the Blueprint 1.0.
Parties interested in deploying a data space need to use the right technologies and need to make sure they get the business and governance of the data space right.

In 2023, under the guidance of the CoE-DSC, two operational data spaces, SCSN and Catena-X, explored how end users of either data space could more easily use both data spaces without complex onboarding. What steps are needed to make this possible? What challenges are faced and what possible solutions emerge when going through these steps?
The CoE-DSC has written a whitepaper addressing changes in the EU digital identity landscape which stem from the revision of the eIDAS regulation.
