Function

Hubs facilitate and support the creation of European Data Spaces. They are regional economy proxies to intercept digital transformation strategy directives and funding opportunities to implement Gaia-X services. Hubs focus on developing data spaces that are relevant or specific to the local region and also interact with other regions to build cross-national data spaces.

Connect
Hubs connect potential Gaia-X stakeholders, both within and across different countries and sectors.

Spread
Hubs increase user interest across Europe and globally to scale up the spread of use cases.

Coordinate
Hubs liaise closely with the Gaia-X Association to define requirements, relevant regulations and policies.

Consolidate
Hubs consolidate relevant initiatives within countries.

Streamline
Hubs ensure efficient cooperation and avoid the unnecessary doubling up of efforts within a particular industry.
