The roll-out of data spaces presents a key challenge: how to establish governance models that guarantee data sovereignty and build the trust needed to share information securely, transparently and in compliance with regulations. In environments involving multiple stakeholders, defining clear and common rules becomes essential to ensuring the ecosystem functions properly.

In this context, data spaces emerge as a strategic infrastructure for driving collaboration and value creation, provided they are underpinned by robust and operational governance mechanisms. Consequently, the governance framework (rulebook) is fundamental to structuring the ecosystem, by establishing the set of rules, processes and responsibilities that enable all participants to be aligned.

In this Deep Dive, Francisco Aranda (Senior Legal Consultant – CARSA) discussed the importance of governance in data spaces, the role of the rulebook as a key element in establishing common rules and responsibilities, and the best practices required to ensure the interoperability, regulatory compliance and sustainability of these ecosystems.
