"Gaia-X, as an association, has achieved a lot over the last two years and is, now, able to deliver a consistent Trust and Federation framework. Moreover, it now finds itself at a pivotal juncture, poised to make a significant impact in the Cloud market. I am delighted to be involved in addressing the forthcoming challenges as Chairwoman of the organisation and contributing to Gaia-X's ongoing journey towards operational reality."

"To enable users to retain control over their data, we call for European data sovereignty – especially over production and industrial data. By participating in Gaia-X, I am doing my part to support this valuable, forward-looking initiative."

"A federated data infrastructure and horizontal data exchange are crucial for the European recovery and renewal. The future is built together and requires joint activities - therefore I am delighted to participate in Gaia-X."

"It is great to be involved in such a unique initiative that will change the way we handle our data fundamentally. The Federation Services, as foundation of the federated data infrastructure, will enable us to connect in an interoperable and legally compliant way."
