Do you want your data sharing initiative to unlock the true value of data and take the step from ambition to scalable impact? Then we invite you to take part in the Impact Challenge, the official launch of our new Data Sharing Valorisation Program (Data SVP!).
What does it involve?
The Impact Challenge will take place during the Data Sharing Festival on 18 and 19 March in Rotterdam, in a two‑part working session.
On the first day you will map the key barriers to your growth and clarify what drives or limits your scaling potential. You will sharpen your value proposition, understand your position among other initiatives, and define concrete next steps to accelerate.
On day two, you will explore cross‑sector solutions and design principles, such as trust frameworks and interoperability, generating insights that support sustainable impact.
By the end of the Impact Challenge, you will have a clear view of your biggest challenges, a jointly validated action plan for acceleration, and valuable new insights and connections. This includes the option to become a first member of Data SVP!.
Is the Impact Challenge right for you?
Please answer the following questions:
- Are you looking to significantly increase the amount of data shared within your ecosystem?
- Are you aiming to bring new partners or domains into your data sharing ecosystem?
- Are you a supplier or developer looking to demonstrate how your solutions can create value in real‑world data spaces?
- Are you planning to launch a new value‑adding service on your data platform?
- Do you want to be part of a national group of frontrunners shaping the future of scalable data spaces?
If you answered ‘yes’ to at least one of these questions, then the Impact Challenge is definitely for you. These are the benefits: personal guidance from experts, access to new tools and methods, valuable visibility within the national data‑space ecosystem and synergy through collaboration and interaction with other data‑sharing initiatives.
