The Data Spaces Symposium took place on 11-12 March in Warsaw, Poland. Hosted by the Data Spaces Support Centre and the Data Spaces Business Alliance, it is the premier global event dedicated to the future of data spaces, bringing together the brightest minds, leading innovators and pioneering organisations to shape a connected, data-driven world. The 2025 edition was also embedded in the Polish ICT Week. This made the event the perfect platform to showcase the latest market-ready use cases and advanced technology solutions for existing and emerging data spaces.
As in previous editions, DATAMITE did not want to miss out on this important event in the world of the European data economy and the development of European data spaces, two of the fundamental pillars of the project. While last year DATAMITE participated as part of the EUDATA+ cluster in one of the parallel sessions of Data Week, this year DATAMITE, through several of its consortium members, participated in the Data Spaces Symposium with several sessions and a booth.
Daniel Saez Domingo from ITI, the institution that coordinates DATAMITE, took part in the ‘Mobility & tourism: Creating value for participants in mobility and tourism data spaces’ session. During his presentation, he explained how the DATAMITE platform helps SMEs to extract the most appropriate data from data spaces for their needs, while maintaining the highest quality and reliability of data, thus improving their data monetisation. This session was moderated by Mariano Blaya Andreu from the International Data Spaces Association, a member of the DATAMITE Consortium.
During the ‘Agriculture track: Towards development of the agriculture data spaces’, DATAMITE had a triple representation. Marcin Płóciennik from Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) led the track and gave the presentation ‘Digital framework supporting data monetization for agricultural data space’, which mainly focused on showing their use case in DATAMITE as an example of how data spaces can improve the agricultural sector’s needs for better data use and data monetisation. Another PSNC member, Raul Palma, took part in the agricultural session too. Finally, the agriculture track closed with a panel discussion in which Marcin Płóciennik and Raul Palma were joined by Marko Turpeinen, CEO at 1001 Lakes, a member of the DATAMITE consortium, which focuses on the development of DATAMITE monetisation strategies.
In addition, during the two days of the conference, PSNC had an exhibition stand to showcase the results of EU-funded projects in which it is involved. One of these projects is DATAMITE.
