The Telekom Data Intelligence Hub team shared its experience in dataspace implementations from various Gaia-X lighthouse projects including Catena-X and Gaia-X 4 Future Mobility with a group of leading innovators and decision makers in Bitkom’s Working Group on Big Data & Advanced Analytics. DIH presented a 3-step recipe and illustrated it using the RealLab Hamburg case stud about a first intermodal travel super-app. This project was awarded the “Innovation Lab Award” of the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action in 2022 and has emerged as a blueprint for data-driven innovation in mobility.

Our thinking on data issues of management importance in refereed publications that go deeper than our short stories. Dataspace solves today's data and data analytics productivity problem. Dataspace .,, is a shift from Big Data (high cost) to Better Data (higher returns) - providing the right data with relevant information content and quality (think: food labels for ingredients and nutritional value), and all in the right quantity is peer-to-peer data communications network - not storage - and with data sovereignty protection so that you can exchange data and maintain control of the rights to your data at all times
