We are very grateful to all GIO participating organizations for their great contributions in the past five years. We have seen the release of many white papers and reached consensuses on many topics. The whole industry should remain committed to globalization, unification, and large-scale application. In GIO, we will insist on globalization, unified standards, and also our communication across the world so that we can promote the stable and healthy development of our industries.

Markus Speikermann

Head of the Data Business Department of Fraunhofer ISST

Basically, there is no, or at least not that big of a platform known from Europe that has a huge market share when it comes to data processing and data exchange. This limits our ability to extract value from growing amounts of digital assets. Over the past few years, many organizations and projects in Europe have taken important initiatives related to data sharing (IDS), trust (GAIA-X), consolidation (DSS), and industry services (Catena-X) to build digital platforms and seek consensus.
