When should I create a data space?

Data spaces consist of a decentralized infrastructure and governance support a business ecosystem. More information about data spaces can be found here. The power of data spaces is best put to use when there are many (different type of) stakeholders in the ecosystem, private or confidential data is shared, and control of your own data is key. Data spaces are less suitable for just bilateral collaborations or for sharing public data.

Who is supporting novatrust?

novatrust is a spin-off company of the Dutch Research and Technology Organization TNO. novatrust is part of TNO Technology Transfer Program which aims is to ensure that TNO research translates into new products and services that provide solutions for a safe, healthy, sustainable, and digital society.

Why are data spaces better than platforms?

Digital platforms are centralized forms of collaborations. All your partners have to connect to a single platform provider. This creates a strong dependency to this platform provider. What happens if the platform raises prices by 300% overnight? What if the platform uses your data to their advantage? What happens if this platform is hacked? Data spaces mitigate these concerns by providing a decentralized collaboration, so no powerful ‘man-in-the-middle’ can exist.
