In an increasingly interconnected world, data plays a crucial role in shaping territorial spaces and promoting social and economic cohesion. In this Data Management Summit roundtable, we will explore the impact of “Data Spaces” as catalysts for territorial cohesion and analyze how efficient data management can drive equitable development in diverse regions.

From the perspective of data management experts, government representatives and private sector leaders, we will examine how the availability, accessibility and quality of data can influence political decision-making, urban planning, local economic development and citizen participation.

Participants will discuss case studies and best practices that highlight how data spaces can be used to address specific territorial challenges, such as bridging the digital divide, promoting sustainable tourism, managing natural resources, and improving public services.

In addition, key topics such as data governance, privacy and security, public-private collaboration and citizen participation in the creation and use of data spaces to ensure equitable and sustainable territorial development will be explored.
