EUDATA+ Alliance Launched to Drive European Data Economy
November 2025 – The EUDATA+ Alliance, a cluster of seven projects funded under the European Commission's Horizon Europe programme and formed in 2024, is proud to officially announce its mission and activities. This flagship collaboration aims to accelerate data sharing, monetization, and interoperability across Europe, addressing a critical need to unlock the full potential of the European data market.
The Context: A Critical Moment for Europe's Data Economy
In a rapidly evolving global landscape, the European Commission's Competitiveness Compass, unveiled by President Ursula Von Der Leyen on January 29, 2025, highlights the urgent need for economic revitalization. With fierce international competition in the AI sector, Europe's ability to compete hinges on its capacity to leverage data. The European data market is projected to reach €141 billion by 2030, yet a surprisingly low number of companies currently engage in data sharing. This untapped potential represents a significant opportunity, with the right conditions capable of unlocking an additional €270 billion in GDP by 2028.
EUDATA+ is positioned to be a key driver in this transformation.
EUDATA+: A Flagship Collaboration
Initially formed for dissemination purposes, the EUDATA+ cluster has evolved into a more substantial partnership with shared goals and knowledge transfer. The alliance is committed to addressing the challenges of data sharing and is built on four key pillars:
- Scientific and Technical Collaboration: Fostering joint research and development.
- Communication & Dissemination: Building a strong community and sharing project outcomes.
- Business Topics & Strategies: Developing strategies for market exploitation and business models.
- Pilots & Use Cases: Demonstrating the practical application of technologies.
The cluster's offerings include advanced technologies, scalable solutions for high-volume transactions, and approaches for data and metadata interoperability. By integrating research in data management, privacy, monetization, and compliance, EUDATA+ directly contributes to the development of European Data Spaces.
The Projects Involved
The EUDATA+ cluster unites seven projects, each bringing a unique contribution to the alliance:
- PISTIS: A secure platform for sharing, trading, and monetizing proprietary data, leveraging technologies like federated data sharing and AI-driven quality assessment.
- FAME: A unique, trustworthy, energy-efficient, and secure federated multi-sided data marketplace with trading and monetization for applications and services in Embedded Finance (EmFi) and more.
- UPCAST: A project providing transparent, user-friendly plugins to automate data-sharing agreements across various entities.
- enRichMyData: An open toolbox with scalable components to help organizations enrich their data and improve reusability.
- DATAMITE: A modular, open-source framework to boost data monetization, interoperability, and exchange for SMEs, large enterprises, and public administrations.
- Graph-Massivizer: A scalable platform for processing extreme data as massive graphs, offering open-source tools for data ingestion and analysis.
- ExtremeXP: A human-centred, experimentation-driven analytics framework designed to optimise complex data-driven workflows—integrating user preferences, feedback, and analytics variants to yield accurate, personalised, trustworthy insights.
EUDATA+ at the European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) 2025
The EUDATA+ Cluster is set to host a high-impact session, "EUDATA+: A Journey Through the Data Lifecycle - Innovations, Use Cases, Values," at the European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) 2025. This unique session will take attendees through the full journey of data, from acquisition and enrichment to its real-world exploitation, presenting the outcomes and future outlook of the seven collaborative European projects. Experts from the EUDATA+ projects will demonstrate their innovative solutions across every phase of the data lifecycle—including data ingestion, enrichment, product creation, publication, exchange, and consumption—followed by targeted examples of how these solutions are shaping the future of key European sectors such as Smart Cities, Mobility, Energy, Climate, Finance, Industry, and Innovation. Participants will gain an understanding of both the cutting-edge technologies and the tangible value they deliver in critical applications like climate predictions for insurance, green finance, and smart grid management. Join the session on 13 November at 10:50, DGI Byen, Copenhagen.
If you are interested in discovering more about the EUDATA+ projects, come visit us at our booth from 12 to 14 November; representatives from the seven projects will be there to satisfy your curiosity and exchange feedback.
