Research Project

GAIA-X, for a new European data economy

ABSTRACT
Engineering is Day-1 Member of the EU project to create a data infrastructure, based on a new digital ecosystem, open, transparent, secure and completely reliable.

Where: international
Challenge
Create a European data strategy that enables Europe to exercise its data sovereignty independently, without relying on other parties. Build a cloud infrastructure and a data and applications ecosystem that allows Member States to fully manage data sovereignty throughout the entire digital transformation process.
Approach
Promoted by France and Germany, with the participation of 22 major European entities, the aim of GAIA-X is to achieve these objectives. Based on existing standards and open source technology, it is, in fact, an infrastructure of data and ecosystems that aims to enable services that are innovative, open, consistent, of guaranteed quality and easy to use. A mission that places interoperability at the centre of a new, completely European data economy. GAIA-X is thus in the vanguard of an economy based on interoperable and shared data and infrastructures and on the resulting development of EU Data Spaces, contributing to the its economic growth.
Digital Ecosystem
Solution
Digital Ecosystem
Already in 2018, we were among earliest international associates of the International Data Spaces Association (IDSA), promoting its strategic and structural mission in Italy; it is also a Day-1 Member of the GAIA-X Foundation with an active role in defining the governance of the project. It facilitates the participation of businesses and national players by promoting awareness and visibility activities. Provided with the same rights as the founding members, Engineering contributes to designing the architecture of GAIA-X and establishing the basic principles on which the whole infrastructure is based. With its participation in this project, Engineering reaffirms its belief in the need to create a Data Space Economy, exploiting digital solutions based on the principles of data sovereignty and on the highest standards of security and interoperability. Gaia-X therefore represents an important instrument to create new business opportunities in every productive sector: from industrial to medical diagnostics, from finance to PA, not forgetting the energy sector, mobility and agriculture.
