This project received 1 million euros in funding from the Digital Europe Programme to develop building blocks for a future common European mobility data space. Over 12 months, the 17-partner project will inventory existing mobility and transport data ecosystems, identify gaps and overlaps, and specify building blocks. Success requires coordination, consensus on standards, governance, and providing incentives for adoption at scale. The project will involve desk research, surveys, interviews, and expert workshops with stakeholders.

Preconditions for success
Coordination and consensus building
Agreement on principles and standards accepted by all participants/the sector, balancing
stakeholder interests and specific requirements with requirements at the higher level
🡪 interoperability across vertical silos
Acceptance
Fair rules and balanced governance mechanisms
“sound governance is needed in which relevant stakeholders of a common European data
space participate and are represented” (Data Governance Act)
Adoption and scaling
“a decentralised innovation ecosystem attracting a critical mass of innovators” (Bria/Morozov)
To achieve network effects, the right incentives need to be provided (e.g., on-boarding
support, creative data monetisation and incentive schemes)
