How are you driving impact in Europe’s digital ecosystem this year?
This year, my focus is on turning data space concepts into real collaboration and measurable outcomes. I drive impact by building communities, creating visibility for trusted European digital infrastructures, and connecting stakeholders across industry, research, and policy. Through initiatives such as Gaia-X Hub Austria and related European data space projects, I support organisations in adopting sovereign data sharing in practice — enabling secure cooperation, interoperability, and resilient digital services that strengthen Europe’s digital security and competitiveness.
