Workshop 1.3: Benefits and added values for participants in data ecosystems

Data sharing is particularly important for all manufacturing stakeholders, especially for SMEs, as it unlocks the potential for synergies and shared benefits for the different participants in data cooperation ecosystems.

In this workshop and expert panel, we want to present and discuss data sharing challenges, expectations and requirements manufacturing companies have. For this purpose, we will address concrete use cases how the various stakeholders in manufacturing ecosystems can contribute to and benefit from trustworthy and secure data exchange.
