Data SpacesWhere selling or sharing data may seem straightforward to set up, there are many points of attention to manage. Creating data-sharing environments opens doors to new business models. Data governance should ensure a climate of trust while respecting the legal framework and within a technological framework for facilitating the transfer of data.
