Smart Cities LTD-DS | European DS4SSCC Spaces
The way cities plan, manage, and improve their services is undergoing a significant transformation thanks to data. From the management of public resources and services to urban mobility, smart information facilitates more agile, effective, and sustainable decisions. Within this framework, Smart Cities LTD-DS Data Spaces and European DS4SSCC Spaces are establishing themselves as essential tools for promoting innovation in European cities.
In this webinar, Antonio J. Jara, CSO of Libelium and leader in IoT solutions for smart cities, explained how data transforms mobility and urban services in practice. Among other things, we saw how data collaboration between the public and private sectors allows for the optimization of traffic, routes, and public transportation, improving mobility and urban planning.
European cities and regions are already implementing these solutions, demonstrating how intelligent data management can transform city life, reduce congestion, promote sustainability, and improve the quality of public services.

How can data transform urban mobility in Europe?
The innovative deployEMDS project, a key initiative co-funded by the European Union’s Digital Europe programme, represents the next phase of the PrepDSpace4Mobility project and marks a decisive step towards the creation of a European Mobility Data Space (EMDS). It will run for 36 months, with completion scheduled for October 2026, and seeks to enable data exchange between public and private actors to achieve more efficient, sustainable and resilient mobility.
🔹Enable data interoperability between public and private sectors
🔹Create a decentralised, secure, and reusable infrastructure
🔹 Promote more efficient, sustainable, and resilient mobility services.
Cities such as Barcelona, Milan, Stockholm, Lisbon, Budapest and the Flanders region are already implementing real solutions under this framework.
i2CAT and its key role in deployEMDS
i2CAT is leading the development of the technical architecture of the data space for regional pilots, applying its previous experience in projects such as traffic optimisation in Terrassa. It is also coordinating the Barcelona pilot, together with ATM and Nommon, focusing on a data governance system for bus fleets and on-demand transport, with predictive analysis and decision-making support tools.
Expected impact of deployEMDS
Heily Ferrer, Senior Innovation Manager at i2CAT, shared how this project is having a real impact on the mobility data ecosystem in Europe. With practical examples and real-life cases, data is changing the way cities make major decisions about mobility.

📢 Digital Product Passport (DPP)
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) or Pasaporte Digital de Producto (PDP) is a key initiative of the European Union, part of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan. Its goal is to increase transparency, traceability, and sustainability of products by providing accurate data on their origin, environmental impact, and opportunities for reuse and recycling.
This system will transform industries such as electronics, batteries, textiles, and construction, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting a more sustainable model. Its mandatory implementation in the coming years will represent a significant shift for industry.
In this session, LKS Next presents the role of the DPP in the digitalisation and sustainability of industry, sharing its experience in its application and the benefits it offers.

The European project CIRPASS-2 is leading the drive for the Digital Product Passport (DPP), a key tool on the path towards a more circular, transparent, and sustainable economy. This initiative is part of the European Union’s efforts to improve product traceability and environmental monitoring throughout the product lifecycle.
In this Data in Action session, organised by :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, we explore this European project and how this tool is intended to be put into practice, demonstrating its large-scale implementation across sectors such as textiles, electronics, tyres, and construction products.
CIRPASS-2 objectives:
In addition, CIRPASS-2 is contributing to the technical and regulatory development of the DPP, in coordination with European standardisation bodies such as CEN and CENELEC.

Data in Action: One Health data space: insights from CESGA
In this talk, CESGA presents the DATAlife One Health Multisectoral Demonstration Centre, an innovative data hub launched as part of the Data Hub Promotion Plan by the Secretary of State for Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence. This centre aims to facilitate the secure and controlled exchange of data within the One Health framework, which integrates human health, animal health and environmental sustainability.
CESGA, a public research foundation dedicated to scientific advancement since 1993 and a node of the Spanish Supercomputing Network, is leading this initiative, offering a decentralised, secure and interoperable platform. The One Health strategy addresses key sectors such as hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, the agri-food industry, aquaculture, veterinary care and sectors related to environmental care, such as water quality and forestry.
The Demonstration Centre already has deployed technologies, including a FarmaciaVAX pilot with D-Spacer and an on-premise data space using XDataShare technology, which enable the development of real-world use cases and attract new participants. The session also featured an MVD demo, showcasing the exchange of non-sensitive vaccination data between pharmacies and health services, whilst ensuring privacy and control. Practical use cases, such as vaccination management in pharmacies, form part of a system aligned with European standards such as DSSC, IDSA and Gaia-X, promoting regulatory compliance and data sovereignty.
