This initiative, backed by a consortium including ICE, and i4RI

In September 2025, a major shift in Europe’s digital landscape took effect: the EU Data Act  officially entered into force. But what exactly is it, and why does it matter? Put simply, the EU Data Act is a legal framework that governs how data generated by connected products and services is accessed, shared, and used. Think of smart cars, fitness trackers, industrial machines, or even smart fridges—these devices constantly generate valuable data. Until now, much of that data w
