The Workshop on Policies to Support Open Data Marketplaces - Data Sharing in IoT Ecosystems, Data-supported Services Concepts & Best Practices (‘Workshop’) will tackle opportunities for data-driven services in sectors like mobility, farming and energy. It exploit use cases from the IoT European Large-Scale Pilots Programme funded under Horizon 2020 and extract key elements of a striving data economy in those sectors, most important to present the underlying architecture design and setting the standards for fair level playing field whilst supporting innovative business models.

The discussions will identify the main challenges for IoT data value chain, regarding data-driven services, data flows including data classification, data sharing, data life cycle, digital rights management, personal data protection and present best practices from different IoT Large-Scale Pilot projects and sectors.

Special attention will be paid to building consensus among stakeholders in vertical and horizontal value chains on principles of data sharing, possibly paving the way for the establishment of a code of conduct applicable across all sectors. Regulatory issues across different domains (digital, energy, mobility) with links to national initiatives will, also, be addressed.

This Workshop is part of a series of IoT events related to data marketplaces. The event is organised by the CREATE-IoT project as part of the IoT Large-Scale Pilots Programme with support from DG Connect and Alliance for IoT Innovation (AIOTI) as the co-hosts of this event.

The Workshop will take place on 29 January 2020 back-to-back to the Data Sharing Days, 27-28 January 2020, in The Hague, Netherlands, for which a special discount arrangement is available for the attendees of this Workshop.
