During the 5th BAIDATA Forum, the 2026 BAIDATA Awards were presented; these awards are designed to recognise organisations and projects that are leading the development of the data economy and data spaces at national and international level. This year, the awards were divided into three different categories:

In the category of Leadership in the Creation of Data Ecosystems, the Catena-X Spain Competence Centre, promoted by the Innovalia Association and the Automotive Intelligence Centre (AIC), and the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) were recognised for their role in the coordination and deployment of European data spaces.

In the Development of Technological Solutions and Data Spaces Infrastructures category, the awards went to Anjana Data, for its data governance platform for shared spaces, and to T-Systems, for its contribution to the development of key technologies and standards for the international ecosystem.

Finally, in the category of ‘Adoption and Implementation of Innovative Technologies and Use Cases’, the awards went to BDEO, for its CAreD project applied to the insurance sector, and SEGITTUR, for its leadership in the development of the tourism data space.

The BAIDATA Awards 2026 have highlighted initiatives that are already demonstrating the real impact of data spaces in strategic sectors, underlining our commitment to data-driven innovation in the Iberian Peninsula.
