What is Gaia-X Hub Finland?

Gaia-X Hub Finland, coordinated by the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS), is the local Gaia-X hub. We work with Finnish companies and other organisations to seize the opportunities presented by Gaia-X and contribute to co-creating future European data spaces. We increase Finnish companies’ understanding of European and Finnish funding options for projects on data sharing as well as of legal and regulatory issues.

A data space is a network of parties or systems created for sharing and exchanging data based on mutually agreed principles and rules. The network also provides companies with the opportunity to learn about new business models that can be facilitated by freely flowing data.

Gaia-X Finland aims to federate, stimulate, enable and accelerate the development of these data spaces while sharing and disseminating the knowledge gained by 15 other hubs in EU countries.

What do we do?

• Inform: act as a one stop shop for Gaia-X updates and information

• Federate: bring together interested companies and ecosystems

• Stimulate: energise and advance the conversation

• Enable: organise knowledge-sharing and “how to” events

• Accelerate: stimulate and co-finance pilot projects or trials

What is Gaia-X?

Established in 2021 as a privately funded not-for-profit association, Gaia-X brings together an international industrial, academic, and political community with the aim of building a common standard for transparent, controllable, and interoperable technologies in order to enable the creation of common data spaces, and in doing so boost the European data economy.

Open to anyone and aligned to the European values of human-centricity, transparency, openness, sovereignty, and trust, Gaia-X’s ambition is to deliver unprecedented opportunities for innovative data-driven business models, reducing the dependency from non-controllable technologies.

Gaia-X Mission

Creating the de facto standard aligned with EU values by developing a set of policies, rules, specifications and a verification framework.

Gaia-X Vision

Enable trusted decentralised digital ecosystems.
