Where does sovity come from?
As a Fraunhofer spin-off, sovity is perfectly equipped to accelerate data sovereignty

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence in the data economy. Fraunhofer kicked-off the development of the International Data Spaces standards in 2015. Consequently, Fraunhofer invents, manages, specifies, and develops IDS components and specifications jointly with the IDS community. As one of world’s leading research organizations, Fraunhofer is representing an unbiased and neutral attitude to stand up for data sovereignty.
Initiated by Fraunhofer’s Institute for Software and Systems Engineer in Dortmund, a carefully selected team developed and founded sovity as a Fraunhofer’s spin-off to establish Data Space technology across the globe.
