Session
As Europe moves towards more interoperable and connected data ecosystems, trust and governance play a crucial role in enabling secure, transparent, and scalable data sharing across sectors. This session will explore how the iSHARE Trust Framework provides a neutral, trust-based foundation for Open Data ecosystems, helping organisations collaborate with confidence while ensuring compliance, data sovereignty, and security.
Through real-world examples, we will demonstrate how iSHARE fosters interoperability and governance, supporting businesses, policymakers, and researchers in maximising the value of Open Data while respecting data rights and regulations such as the Data Governance Act and Data Act.
