Overview

Join Digital Isle of Man for a two-part workshop series introducing the Data Asset Foundations (DAF) initiative—designed to position the Isle of Man at the forefront of the global data economy.

We’ll also be joined in Part 2 by guest speakers from EDMA, who will share industry insight into the training and commercial opportunities available to Corporate Service Providers (CSPs) under the DAF framework.

These sessions will explore how DAF enables organisations to treat data as a capital asset—unlocking new commercial models, enhancing trust, and enabling secure data stewardship within a robust legal and regulatory framework.

Whether you're just curious or deeply involved in data governance, these sessions are designed to inform, engage, and inspire.

Part 1 is open to all professionals with an interest in data, innovation, or economic transformation.

Part 2 is particularly aimed at Corporate Service Providers (CSPs), who will play a central role in operationalising the framework. However, anyone is welcome to stay and learn more.
