“Data Spaces in Manufacturing” – DATAWEEK23 Conference

Data Week 2023 is the spring gathering of the European Big Data and Data Driven AI research and innovation communities. In Data Week, the participants share knowledge and results, discuss topics of common interest, find synergies, build new collaborations and identify new challenges and recommendations. Data Week also links the communities and their results to the European policies and market needs and brings European initiatives and activities closer to local communities.

Over the last few years, the use of data has been of paramount importance to drive improvements in engineering, planning, commissioning, operations and after-sale services in the manufacturing domain. Manufacturing data spaces for Europe development has been so far conducted by many different alliances, projects, networks and in many cases driven in the context of National Industry 4.0 initiatives and within H2020 HEP R&I projects to establish the first “embryonic data spaces” for different applications in different manufacturing sectors.

The main goal of this session is to give voice to European projects and initiatives in order to discuss and converge on common concepts and definitions; to elaborate on State of the Art and Best Practices; to present and analyze Opportunities, Challenges and Barriers. At the end, a number of priorities are identified in order to define a preliminary roadmap.
