Opportunity for technical and personal exchange

Beyond an update on the project work packages the program made ample space to promote a shared understanding of Gaia-X across the audience through excellent chalk talks on dataspaces by Microsoft and on specifically the functioning of the marketplace by IONOS.

At last the meeting moved from the plenary to a live demonstration of the Marispace-X use case Munitions-In-The-Sea to the Kiel waterfront.

It was attended by the Minister-President of Land Schleswig-Holstein Daniel Günther and the State Secretary at the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Schleswig-Holstein Julia Carstens who kindly took time out of their schedule to update themselves on the progress of the project and share their thoughts how the development of the maritime data economy will provide the basis for future digital value creation on the state, national and international level.

 

"I would also like to expressly thank the BMWK, which, through its support and supervision of industrial projects such as Marispace-X, is providing important impetus for the development of the maritime data economy and thus contributing the basis for future digital value creation both in Schleswig-Holstein and in Germany and at international level, according to the European rules of Gaia-X."
