Gaia-X and Partners to Showcase Cross-Border Data Collaboration at Hannover Messe 2025

This initiative highlights how Japanese and European companies work together to establish trusted data exchange frameworks that enhance interoperability and drive digital transformation.

As part of the International Open Forum on Data Society, T-Systems, NTT DATA, and Fujitsu are collaborating with various stakeholders to develop a platform that connects European and Japanese Trust Anchors. Utilising Gaia-X Digital Clearing Houses, these companies are prototyping solutions that facilitate seamless and secure data exchange across borders.

Gaia-X and industry leaders drive disruptive innovations in secure data ecosystems, global supply chain collaboration, and sustainability-driven manufacturing. By leveraging trusted digital identity solutions, cross-border data exchange, and real-time machine connectivity, they are transforming industries, enhancing interoperability, and enabling more efficient, secure, and sustainable operations worldwide.

Gaia-X Event Highlights at Hannover Messe 2025

Accelerate Your Access to Data Ecosystems with Managed Wallets

Unlock faster, more secure access to Gaia-X data ecosystems with T-Systems’ managed wallet service, “Trust & Participate.” Simplify credential verification, seamlessly connect with service providers like Pontus-X, and drive business growth with trusted digital identity solutions. Ensure compliance with European standards while enhancing interoperability and trust across your ecosystem.

Enabling Global Data Exchange: Connecting Continents for Seamless Supply Chains

Digital transformation must align with global supply chains, requiring parallel data chains to mirror multi-tier networks and federation of trust. The Global Trust Anchor initiative, an international collaboration based on International Open Forum on Data Society, is piloting a peer-to-peer dataspace transaction using different trust anchors—one based on the EU’s eIDAS framework and one from Japan. The pilot runs on T-Systems’ Build & Operate dataspace-as-a-service, NTT Communications’ Gaia-X framework and Fujitsu Research’s IDYX-TI technology as a notary service, demonstrating cross-jurisdictional data exchange.

The Future of Tires: Unlocking Sustainability through Data Collaboration

Tire waste is a growing challenge—but what if data could help extend tire lifespan and cut costs? GDSO is pioneering sustainability applications that rely on secure, cross-company data sharing. Discover how a shared dataspace infrastructure—where data providers retain control—delivers enhanced data for powering new applications. Learn how this innovation drives sustainability, reduces waste, and unlocks new business opportunities in mobility.

Dataspace Landscape in Germany

The dataspace landscape in Germany is diverse and rapidly evolving. Since digital sovereignty and the development of data spaces gained significant momentum in 2021 with the founding of the Gaia-X Association, the ecosystem has expanded considerably. Now, four years later, we see a vast array of initiatives, organizations, and projects.

At our booth, we will provide an in-depth presentation on the current dataspace landscape, offering key insights into the most relevant initiatives and their classifications within the broader ecosystem.

First Manufacturing-X Demonstrator: Connecting Machines Globally for Trusted & Sustainable Supply Chains

This demonstrator connects machines across continents using Data Spaces compatible with Gaia-X for secure and trustful data sharing. By tracking Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) values in a Digital Product Passport (DPP), it enables transparency, reduces waste, improves recycling, and ensures regulatory compliance. See how real-time machine data exchange drives efficiency and sustainability—setting a new standard for global, data-driven manufacturing.

COOPERANTS: The Gaia-X Data Ecosystem for Aerospace

COOPERANTS is the collaborative alliance in the aeronautics, space and defence sector that solves pressing data exchange challenges by creating a common, fully Gaia-X compliant data eco-system.

For this purpose, COOPERANTS has created a 100% open source and federated landscape, where each participant stay in full sovereignty of their own data. Newcomers are welcome at any time with very limited effort to get on board! As a result, the aerospace industry will increase the efficiency of data sharing, reduce waste efforts, project costs as well as risks of failure, and lower the barriers to prove innovative digital data services within our federated marketplace.

Dataspace4Health – Empowering Healthcare through Secure Data Sharing

Dataspace4Health, a project led by NTT DATA is revolutionising healthcare by building a secure and interoperable data ecosystem for medical research and patient care.
