Data is a strategic resource for business innovation and societal prosperity. The good news is that this resource is growing. The volumes of data produced by smart devices which determine all areas of our daily lives are exponentially increasing. Making use of these amounts of data bears a huge value potential. However, today we don’t make optimal use of the data. Reasons for that are multifold and comprise data protection and regulatory aspects, lack of trust between data providers and data users, as well as limited accessibility and availability of data. Data platforms address these challenges as they form a marketplace in which data providers and data users meet. Following the logic of network effects, data platform providers are keen in maximizing the data offering in their marketplace. Thus, they are investing large amounts of money to access data from various sources to increase their attractiveness for data users. It is a matter of fact that most large data platform providers come from outside Europe. Because of the inherent business model logic of data platforms—e.g., winner-takes-it-all effects and gatekeeping functionality—typical values of the Single European Market such as freedom of choice and a fair compensation for the data provider in secondary use scenarios are at risk in the data economy. Thus, Europe should act now to make sure the European data economy is designed according to what German Chancellor Angela Merkel once called the Social Data Market Economy. This model balances individual interests of the data provider and common interests in using the data. It rests on principles such as sovereignty over data, trust among market participants, and interoperability and portability of data. Initiatives such as GAIA-X and International Data Spaces (IDS) are promising endeavors toward a European way in the data economy as they set standards and provide software architectures for fair data sharing and trusted data spaces. GAIA-X is a not-for-profit industry association headquartered in Brussels which aims at a federated data and service infrastructure for Europe. The IDS Association contributes to GAIA-X by providing architectures and open-source software implementations for data sovereignty technologies.
