T-Systems and NTT are shaping the future of trusted global data exchange by combining telecom-grade infrastructure with federated identity and dataspace interoperability. Their joint contributions to the IDSA paper and cross-border testbeds between Europe and Japan show how telcos can drive secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant data collaboration across ecosystems. This approach supports real-world use cases like Digital Product Passports, predictive maintenance, and circular economy models—laying the groundwork for a network of sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructures.

At LEAP 2025, T-Systems and Detasad showcased cutting-edge dataspace solutions, driving secure data collaboration, AI innovation, and compliance in Saudi Arabia. Through strategic partnerships and cloud-agnostic platforms, we empower businesses to scale, optimize operations, and unlock new revenue opportunities in the region’s thriving digital economy.

T-Systems and NTT Communications are pioneering global dataspace collaboration, bridging Europe and Japan with interoperable data-sharing ecosystems. This partnership leverages T-Systems’ Build & Operate testbed and NTT’s local expertise to foster innovation, trust, and secure cross-border data sharing.

Catena-X partners with AIAG to launch a North American hub, advancing data sharing for sustainability in automotive supply chains. Their innovative approach uses Web3 technology for secure, scalable, and efficient data exchange, including live demonstrations of Product Carbon Footprint tracking.

The Danish Data Space Forum and Gaia-X Hub launch showcases how businesses can securely share data using advanced dataspaces. T-Systems offers accessible, standardized solutions enabling organizations to focus on unlocking economic benefits rather than managing complex technology, supporting all industries in leveraging dataspaces effectively.

The Global Data Spaces Connect in Vienna highlighted the transition from technical exploration to practical, business-driven applications of dataspaces. With insights from experts like Wolfgang Ebner, Nina Popanton, and Sofie Verbrugge, the event showcased cross-domain innovations, sustainable business models, and real-world applications in fields such as smart cities and healthcare. Leaders emphasized the importance of collaboration, robust business cases, and scalability, underscoring dataspaces' potential to transform industries.

At the EuProGigant Open House Day 2024, T-Systems hosted a workshop on "Build & Operate," demonstrating the business benefits of dataspaces in manufacturing. The event showcased the German-Austrian ecosystem for Manufacturing, with projects like AMIDS illustrating how dataspaces enable secure, interoperable data exchange across manufacturing sites, optimizing collaboration, production processes, and supply chain resilience.

The GovTech Leaders event showcased how innovation is transforming the public sector, with Lithuania and the Baltics at the forefront. The event emphasized collaboration, best practices, and leveraging technology like dataspaces to drive meaningful change. Highlights included keynote speeches from government leaders and a focus on youth-driven innovation with the European Young Innovators Jury.

T-Systems and NTT Communications are collaborating to accelerate the development of data ecosystems in Japan by providing a cloud-based dataspace test environment. Using open-source software from the Eclipse Foundation, the test environment, operated in Germany, allows Japanese organizations to explore dataspace interoperability and connect with European initiatives like Gaia-X. The collaboration aims to foster data sovereignty, increase developers and users, and facilitate multi-regional dataspace integration.
