Is your business already working with data spaces?

How can organisations create more value from data, and what is needed to share data
securely and reliably? To give answers to these questions, CoE-DSC and RVO are
organising a series of sector-focused events aimed at introducing data spaces, providing
insight into the European Data Strategy, and highlighting the opportunities they offer for
Dutch businesses.

The next events will focus on the built environment:

Secure Data Sharing: Initiatives in the Built Environment (this event will be held in Dutch)
Wednesday 23 September 2026
13:00 – 17:00
Amersfoort

Digital supply chain collaboration as the key to a competitive Dutch manufacturing industry
Thursday 1 October 2026
13:00
Eindhoven

Collaboration
The events are organised in collaboration with sector partners including Smart Connected
Supplier Network (SCSN), Federatie Staalplaat, Klikopmorgen, DMI, the Dutch Ministry of
Infrastructure and Water Management (I&W), and others. Our aim is to make the sessions as
practical as possible by bringing together providers of data-sharing solutions with businesses
and organisations looking to benefit from secure data sharing.

Geert Lamerichs, CoE-DSC/TNO: “The European Commission is working towards a
European market for data. But what does that actually mean for SMEs, and how can it help
your business in practice? Together with RVO, CoE-DSC is making the technology tangible
by listening to real-world challenges and connecting businesses with organisations that can
provide practical solutions.”

From European Policy to Dutch Use Cases
In the webinar below, RVO explains the latest developments in Europe and the Netherlands,
and how businesses can benefit from them. CoE-DSC introduces the key building blocks of a
data space, including the technical, organisational and governance aspects required for
secure and trustworthy data sharing. Supply Drive, a service provider within SCSN, shares
practical examples showing how businesses are already creating value and generating
revenue through data sharing today.

Data sharing
From fragmentation to scalable value from data

How can we prevent the growing landscape of data spaces and data-sharing initiatives from becoming a source of fragmentation itself? The challenge is not to make everything the same, but to make conscious decisions about what can be reused, where harmonisation is needed, and where there should remain room for domain-specific choices.
From privacy to trust: what is needed to bring PETs to the next phase

Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) make it possible to extract value from sensitive data without exposing the underlying information, but large-scale adoption remains limited despite successful pilots. According to Sarah van Drumpt (TNO) and Dave Buckley (OpenMined/UN PET Lab), the main challenge is no longer the technology itself, but creating the right conditions around governance, legal certainty and organisational readiness.
Hyperion: building data-driven collaboration for more sustainable aviation

According to Linda Bos, Director of the KLM Engineering & Maintenance Technology Hub, aviation cannot wait for new generations of electric or hydrogen-powered aircraft to become more sustainable. Through the Hyperion project, KLM and its partners are exploring how data sharing and collaboration can contribute to more sustainable and future-proof aircraft maintenance.
