Consulting in standardisation and industry development for data spaces and cloud.

European data spaces and sovereign cloud are reshaping how organisations share data and build digital services. inMado helps technology companies, research centres and public institutions understand the landscape, take part in standards work, and build the partnerships that make data ecosystems work.

What we do

• Standardisation advisory: guidance on European and national standards work for AI, data and cloud (CEN-CENELEC, ISO/IEC, the Polish Committee for Standardization) and how to contribute effectively.

• Data spaces and cloud ecosystems: strategy and onboarding for initiatives such as Gaia-X, the International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) and EU data space projects.

• Industry development and partnerships: stakeholder mapping, partner programmes, and relations with industry associations, research organisations and government.

• Events and public communication: round tables, workshops and keynotes that bring data-ecosystem stakeholders together.

Why open matters

Data spaces only work when every participant can connect, share and trust on equal terms. That's why inMado's work is built on open standards and open source:

• Interoperability: open standards let data, services and clouds from different providers work together, without lock-in to one vendor.

• Sovereignty and trust: open, transparent specifications and code let organisations verify how their data is handled and keep control of it.

• Faster innovation: shared open-source building blocks, such as the Eclipse Dataspace Components and Gaia-X open-source software, lower the cost of entry for SMEs, researchers and the public sector.

• Fair markets: openness keeps digital ecosystems competitive and open to new players.

We help clients adopt open standards, contribute to open-source communities, and build their offerings on open foundations.
