Gaia-X is pleased to announce that Kiwa Spain has joined as a new member of the association.
Kiwa Spain is the Spanish delegation of Kiwa, a globally active institution in the fields of Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC). As a reference in quality assurance, Kiwa Spain creates trust by contributing to the safety, transparency and sustainability of organisations, products and management systems.
Fully aligned with the digital transformation and the green transition, Kiwa Spain actively drives innovation by participating in the validation and deployment of secure Data Spaces, developing Digital Product Passport (DPP) platforms across key sectors, and enabling Smart Inspections powered by data intelligence. The organisation supports data sovereignty, interoperability and regulatory compliance across sectors including agri-food, renewable energy, circular economy, water management, smart cities, defence, health, logistics and smart mobility.
Ulrich Ahle, CEO of Gaia-X, commented: “Kiwa Spain’s contribution reflects the growing role of trusted certification and verification actors in enabling sovereign, secure and interoperable data spaces across Europe. As Gaia-X moves towards broader market adoption, organisations like Kiwa help make trust operational, supporting transparent data spaces that deliver real economic value and strengthen Europe’s digital resilience.”
Juan Cardona, CEO of Kiwa Spain, stated: “Joining Gaia-X is a milestone that aligns with Kiwa’s core mission of building trust. As the digital economy evolves, establishing secure, sovereign, and transparent Data Spaces is essential to guarantee digital trust, regulatory compliance, and seamless cross-sector collaboration.
