Sustainable development of data-sharing ecosystems: challenges and turning points

The enactment of the Data Act and of the Data Governance Act, together with several major public initiatives aimed at supporting the development of dataspaces in Europe, often in line with the settling of industry-wide consortia promoting technical development and experimentations, have been triggering the development of data-sharing initiatives across Europe. It is now time take stock of these developments and try to draw lessons from this accumulation of experiences to inform public policies, firms’ strategies, and priorities for technical research. 

Indeed, the realization of the potential of data-sharing, both in terms of productivity gains and innovation at the industry level, request on-boarding o the various stakeholders in a value chain. Given their skills, their digital maturity, their organizational constraints, and their degree of strategic independence, they face contrasted levels of costs, potential benefits and risk in sharing their data. Moreover, these costs-benefits-risks are also pretty much depending upon the use cases that are implemented, the costs and difficulties associated to the reengineering of processes and organizations, the behaviours of partners and competitors, etc.

Lastly cost and benefits, as well as incentives to share data, or to derive value from their analysis and processing are depending upon governance arrangements and technological developments.

This conference will gather policy makers, practitioners and analysts who will join forces to discuss the dynamic of development of data-sharing eco-systems in the aim of identifying the main challenges and possible turning points to be addressed to promote a self-sustainable development of data-sharing in various context, thanks of the design and management of virtuous processes of industrial transformation based on sound business models, inclusive governance mechanisms, and facilitating technologies.
