Plan for the Promotion of Sectorial Data Spaces
Fecha de la noticia: 21-11-2024
TheMinistry for the Digital Transformation and Civil Service has presented an ambitious Plan for the Promotion of Sectorial Data Spaces. Its objective is to foster innovation and improve competitiveness and added-value in all economic sectors, promoting the deployment of data spaces where data can be securely shared. Thanks to them, companies, and the economy in general, will be able to benefit from the full potential of a European data single market.
The Plan has a 500 million euros budget from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, and will be developed in 6 axes and 11 initiatives with a planned duration until 2026.
Data spaces
Data sharing in data spaces offers enormous benefits to all the participating companies, both individually and collectively. These benefits include improved efficiency, cost reduction, increased competitiveness, innovation in business models and better adaptation to regulations. These benefits cannot be achieved by companies in isolation but requires the sharing of data among all the actors involved.
Some examples of these benefits would be:

Some specific initiatives include:
- The AgriDataSpace project ensures food quality and safety through full traceability of products.
- The Mobility Data Space project improves urban planning and transportation efficiency by integrating mobility data.
Benefits of the Plan for the Promotion of Sectorial Data Spaces
The Plan will offer more than €287 million in grants for the creation and maintenance of data spaces, the development of high-value use cases and the reduction of costs for participating companies when consuming, sharing or providing data. It will also offer up to 44 million euros in grants to the technology industry to facilitate the adaptation of their digital products and services to the needs of data spaces and the entities that participate in them by sharing data and making our industry more competitive in data technologies.
Finally, with a budget of up to 169 million euros, several unique projects of public interest will be developed that will act as enablers for digital transformation focused on data and data spaces in all economic sectors. These enablers will contribute to accelerate the process of deploying use cases and data spaces, as well as stimulate companies to actively share data and obtain the expected benefits. To this end, a network of common infrastructures and data space demonstrators will be developed, a National Reference Center for data spaces will be set up, and the entire non-open public data sets held by public administrations which are of high interest to businesses will be made available to the economic sectors.
