Why i-Spaces?

AI Innovators need data computing power athand (now!)

SMEs need support to become data-driven
and join data ecosystems

Companies get more and more interest on
data ethics
Fair data value chains still need to be invented

Data owners (really big data holders) need
incentives to share

New AI and Data regulations bring challenges
for innovators

Skills development, access to secure
experimentation and open innovation seemto be more important than everHow?

“A GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS WHICH HAVEDEVELOPED STRONG BUSINESS AND HUMANECOSYSTEMS AROUND SECURE DATA-SHARING ANDEXPLOITATION DECIDED TO JOIN FORCES TIMEBACK….” GRASSROOT INITIATIVE

“THEY CREATED A QUALITY LABEL FOR INNOVATIONDATA SPACES (CALLED I-SPACE LABEL) AS A WAY TO
BENCHMARK, PROMOTE AND EVOLVE THEIRAMBITIONS AND COMMUNITY…” THE QUALITY LABELTHIS IS THE I-SPACES COMMUNITY !!

i-Spaces are ecosystems withpowerful infrastructures, knowledge,tools, data, … ready to provide
services for theexperimentation andinnovation with Data and AI.

We have a close contact and are well known
and recognized in our local
ecosystems (TRUST) and are also
very well connected globally, as starsof an impressive constellation around Dataand AI.

That, gives the capacity
to i-Spaces of making

things happen
