Sovereign Data Spaces
Share and exchange data across organisational boundaries without relinquishing ownership — federated, governed, and compliant by architecture. Collaborate on insights, not raw data dumps, with every sharing agreement enforced in code.
Secure Data Marketplace
A curated catalogue of compliant data products with automated governance and preview — discover and acquire sovereign data while residency stays under your control.
Federated Sharing
Share data products across organisations without replication or centralisation — collaborate on insights, not raw data.
Smart Data Contracts
Policy-as-code agreements that enforce themselves — compliance by architecture in every sharing relationship.
Data Spaces are governed, federated environments for sharing and exchanging data across organisational boundaries without surrendering ownership or control. Built on the principles of European data-sharing initiatives such as Gaia-X, they let organisations discover, contract for, and use each other's data products through policy-as-code agreements — so data is collaborated on in place, never centralised or copied out of your perimeter.
Most data collaboration still means copying data out of one organisation and into another — losing control of it the moment it leaves. Sovereign Data Spaces invert that model: data stays with its owner, and access is granted through governed, self-enforcing agreements. Partners, suppliers, agencies, and allies can build on shared data products without anyone giving up sovereignty — true federated collaboration with provenance and compliance built in.

Data Spaces in depth
Data Spaces enable trusted, governed data sharing between organisations without requiring centralised aggregation or relinquishing ownership. Built on IDSA and Gaia-X principles, they allow cross-boundary collaboration whilst preserving every participant's sovereignty.
- Usage policies: Define exactly how, when, and by whom shared data may be used — enforced cryptographically, not by trust alone.
- Federated identity: Participants are verified through trusted identity registries, ensuring only authorised organisations access shared assets.
- No central broker: Data exchanges are peer-to-peer with protocol-level governance — no single party holds privileged access to the exchange.
Collaborate on data without giving it away
Data Spaces let organisations share data products through governed agreements while the data itself stays with its owner. Instead of copying data into a central lake, each participant exposes compliant products that others can discover, contract for, and use in place — so collaboration never means surrendering ownership.
Data marketplace — Publish and discover compliant data products in a curated, governed catalogue.
Federated sharing — Share across organisational boundaries without replication or centralisation.
Smart data contracts — Policy-as-code enforces compliance automatically in every sharing agreement.
Lineage & provenance — Full traceability of where data came from, how it changed, and how it is used.
Sovereignty and collaboration, at the same time
Cross-organisational value — supply chains, research consortia, public-sector and allied data sharing — has always traded control for collaboration. Sovereign Data Spaces remove that trade-off: data stays in each owner's perimeter, governed by self-enforcing contracts, so partners build on shared products without anyone losing sovereignty. It is the European, Gaia-X-aligned model for data collaboration applied across your ecosystem.
