Data Spaces Symposium 2025
The Data Spaces Symposium is the premier global event dedicated to the future of data spaces, bringing together outstanding minds, leading innovators and pioneering organizations to shape a connected, data-driven world.
This year’s edition of the event took place on March 11-12 in Warsaw as part of the Polish ICT Week right after the FGTIME Economic Forum. The event was attended by 800 participants from 40 countries, confirming that data spaces have become a global trend – representatives from all continents were the best proof of that.
Data spaces play a key role in ensuring the sovereign, interoperable and trustworthy exchange of data between companies and societies, constituting a significant step towards the data-driven economy of the future.
The success of previous editions encouraged the organizers to raise the bar – this year’s event delivered the latest insights, ready-to-implement market solutions and inspiring discussions, redefining the way data spaces are created and operated in various industries and regions of the world.
We are all the more proud that the participation of Ewa Zielińska – President of PKN and CENELEC Vice-President Policy – enabled discussions on the role of standardisation in developing interoperable data spaces and emphasised how European Standards support the single data market and the digital transformation of Europe.
Ewa Zielińska spoke about the role of CEN and CENELEC in developing harmonised European Standards, which, among other things, help companies meet legal requirements and support the needs of all stakeholders in Europe. She emphasised that the European Standardisation System should be at the centre of the EU's efforts to create a single data market, supporting digital transformation and increasing Europe's competitiveness on the international stage.
The symposium provided extremely valuable content – insightful presentations and engaging discussions highlighted the economic potential of data spaces and the readiness for their full implementation.
