This secure platform will act as the nerve centre for data exchange, fostering collaboration and transparency across the sector. Stakeholders, from fishers to policymakers, will be able to gain access to a wealth of accurate and readily available data, empowering informed decision-making. As data producers, fishers keep control of the data they want to propose.

Building the Data Space is focused on laying the groundwork for the development of the Fish-X Data Space. Based on Gaia-X federated services, the objective is to facilitate data sharing while safeguarding owners’ sovereignty. Key achievements include identifying relevant data types, defining the data space architecture, and establishing data exchange procedures.
