Data Spaces:
share data in a standardized and controlled way!

To use the full value of data we need to speed up the implementation of use cases. Our vision is to empower organizations and build global data ecosystems. This calls for a standardized way to connect data between companies and for scalable data sharing in an interoperable way in Data Spaces. It is crucial for companies to keep data decentralized and at their source. Then Data Sovereignty guarantees full control as data owner and the defined usage policies – enabling sharing data with thousands of partners.

Data Space technology: sharing data with sovity standardized keeping full control

Data is enormously valuable, but only 20% of today’s industrial data is used. Connect to partners, clouds, or applications with sovity’s Data Space technology. It allows data sharing independent of the underlying IT infrastructure. Standardized usage policies help data owners define how, when or who is allowed to receive and use data. Open source software ensures interoperability, scalability and prevents lock-in effects. Use cases such as calculating CO2 emissions of a product require data sharing with multiple partners. Focus on creating business value while using sovity’s technology – we are the tech experts for Data Spaces, you are the expert of your use case!

Our solution is based on:
