Gaia-X European Association for Data and Cloud AISBL

Gaia-X is a European-driven project aimed at creating a federated and secure data infrastructure that supports innovation, transparency, and digital sovereignty across Europe. Born out of the need to reduce dependence on non-European cloud providers, Gaia-X brings together governments, enterprises, research institutions, and startups to build an open, trustworthy digital ecosystem.

The initiative focuses on developing interoperable cloud and edge solutions that allow users to retain control over their data. By establishing a set of common standards and frameworks, Gaia-X ensures that data sharing, storage, and usage are done securely and in compliance with European values such as privacy, transparency, and trust.

Gaia-X promotes collaborative innovation through its diverse community of members from different sectors and countries. It facilitates the creation of data spaces in areas such as health, energy, mobility, and finance, enabling cross-sectoral digital solutions that fuel the European economy and society.

With its emphasis on data sovereignty and open technologies, Gaia-X is shaping the future of Europe's digital infrastructure. It seeks not only to strengthen the continent’s competitiveness but also to protect its citizens' digital rights in an increasingly interconnected and data-driven world.
