On 2 June 2026, the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, in coordination with SEDIA, published the Integrated Mobility Data Space Strategy (EDIM) document. Its aim is to define how to organise the sharing of mobility data within a common framework of governance and interoperability. The EDIM was established under Law 9/2025 on Sustainable Mobility and is aligned with the 2030 Strategy for Safe, Sustainable and Connected Mobility.

A high volume of data sharing, but with limited governance

The initial assessment reveals a high volume of data exchange between public sector organisations, but one that relies on mechanisms that are not yet fully developed. If your organisation already shares information, these examples will sound familiar: manual file transfers, partial APIs or the use of email. All of this leads to duplications and inefficiencies, combined with significant technological disparities and the absence of a unified governance framework.

The nature and strategy of the Mobility Data Space

The EDIM is defined as a digital tool within the General Sustainable Mobility System. Its mission is to ensure the availability of mobility information to all public authorities and, under conditions to yet be determined, to managers, professionals, the research community and the general public.

Its design is based on the three pillars set out in the UNE 0087:2025 specification: interoperability, governance and value creation. The proposed governance model is a hybrid one, comprising a Governance Authority, a Standing Committee and the Regional Forum for Sustainable Mobility, which acts as a coordinating body with the autonomous communities and local authorities.

The cornerstone of this entire model is data sovereignty, the very concept we promote at BAIDATA. Each organisation retains its data within its own systems and decides what to share and under what conditions, within a federated model that avoids unnecessary centralisation, as illustrated by its functional diagram:

The 2026–2028 deployment plan

The strategy comprises a roadmap divided into four phases:

1. Establishment of the Governing Authority and the Standing Committee
2. Launch of the base platform with common capabilities (catalogue, identity, semantics and observability).
3. Definition of a standardised procedure for participant onboarding.
4. Deployment of an initial wave of use cases (between 3 and 5 selected pilot projects)

The EDIM is designed as a dynamic and scalable infrastructure, intended to converge with the European Mobility Data Space. Here at BAIDATA, we will be closely monitoring this process to keep you informed of the opportunities for innovation and collaboration it creates.
