We actively monitor the latest developments of European Data Strategy, ensuring that Ireland stays at the forefront of data-driven innovation. Through this, we formulate a data strategy that aligns with both local and EU goals. Additionally, we enable our members to learn from their peers and leading european experts, fostering collaboration and sharing best practices to strengthen Ireland’s data economy.
Empowering Ireland’s Data Economy: Leading Innovation with the DSAI
A well-developed data sharing ecosystem, supported by the DSAI in Ireland, will unlock immense value across the nation by fostering innovation, enhancing operational efficiency, and driving new economic opportunities. The Alliance plays a pivotal role by enabling public and private sector organisations share data securely, and enables business, SMEs, and research institutes to develop innovative products, and heighten competitiveness.
What is a Data Space?
The sheer volume of data being generated every day is mind-blowing—an estimated 2.5 quintillion bytes, and it’s growing faster than ever. Yet, industries like healthcare and finance are still starved for high-quality, accessible data. Why? Trust and interoperability remain major barriers for data providers. That’s where data spaces come in. By offering a secure, interoperable framework built on shared governance principles, standards, and best practices, data spaces empower trusted data sharing between participants. They unlock the full potential of data, turning it into a valuable asset for industries to drive innovation and growth.
European Data Strategy
The European Data Strategy seeks to establish a unified data market to bolster Europe’s global competitiveness and safeguard its data sovereignty. This initiative will drive the creation of Common European Data Spaces, ensuring that more data is available for economic and societal use while maintaining control for the individuals and organisations that generate it.
