The DATAlife Multisectoral Demonstrator Project aims to enable companies, especially SMEs and start-ups, to experiment and carry out proof-of-concept tests based on data sharing and data exploitation, thus enabling the development of innovative practices in the use and sharing of data and in the generation of new products and services which will improve competitiveness and international projection.
The aim is to reduce the main barriers that companies and entities face when sharing data and to facilitate a robust and collaborative data economy. The demonstrator is based on the creation of a decentralised, secure and interoperable platform, aligned with European and international standards which will provide a framework for the sovereign sharing and exploitation of data, taking advantage of the unique computing resources offered by CESGA (Galicia Supercomputing Center). Another advantage of the demonstrator is that it will be based on a packaged system (data space as a service), as well as other open source software components and technology developed in Spain. These components will be able to evolve without depending on third parties to meet the specifications of their users and converge with the standards that will allow their integration with other interoperable demonstrators and with the common European data spaces under development.
The DATALIFE MULTISECTORAL DEMONSTRATOR Project is funded by the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Administration with the aim of providing access, secure and sovereign data sharing, as well as a cloud infrastructure equipped with modern and powerful computing resources, both in terms of hardware and software, for the whole value chain, from a holistic perspective that includes data related to human health, animal health, the environment (water quality, biodiversity, climatology, etc.), bioresources (sea-fishing, agriculture, livestock, forestry), waste as a resource to be recovered, food (quality control/analytical laboratories, crops and their use, etc.), health (physiological and genetic data, healthy habits, mental health, etc.) and care (environmental parameters, home, residences, day centres, etc.). It will also be linked to innovation resources (services, infrastructure and know-how).
These contracts will be financed exclusively from Component 12 (Spanish Industrial Policy 2030), Investment 1 (Sectoral Data Spaces) and CID Objective 180 (Large High-Value Interoperable Sectoral Data Spaces) of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed through the Recovery and Resilience Facility (MRR)_NextGenerationEU and the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Civil Service, under budget line 33-50-46LA-750.20 and with file number TSI-100120-2024-12. Therefore, the contracts will be subject to the regulations of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, in particular, Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility, Order HFP/1030/2021 of 29 September, Order HFP/1031/2021 of 29 September and Order HFP/55/2023 of 24 January relating to the systematic analysis of the risk of conflict of interest in procedures implementing the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
