What is Gaia-X?
Gaia-X is an initiative launched in 2021 as a privately funded, non-profit association. It brings together large companies, SMEs, industry, and policymakers to develop common standards for transparent, reliable, and interoperable technologies. The goal is to build secure data spaces that make it easier to share data, collaborate, and drive innovation across sectors and borders – strengthening Europe’s data economy.
Gaia-X aims to create a connected data infrastructure that ensures data sovereignty, interoperability, privacy, and security. The initiative is open to everyone and is built on European values such as transparency, transparency, trust, and human-centricity. Its vision is to create an ecosystem where data can flow and be used seamlessly, supporting innovation, economic growth, and societal value - while reducing Europe’s dependence on non-transparent and uncontrollable technologies.
