The Data Sharing Festival (DSF) returns in 2026! The dates have been confirmed on 18 and 19 March in Rotterdam. Two inspiring days dedicated to data sharing and cloud technologies.
Sovereignty is the key concept. But how do we turn ideas to adoption and scale, from Dutch and European perspective? Explore how we can jointly move from principle to practice. The flagship event for everyone involved in data sharing and cloud, from providers to policymakers and users, in any sector.
Programme
Wednesday 18 March
- Inspiring keynotes, real-world use cases and sector driven breakout sessions (Health, Government, Mobility and Logistics, and more)
- Launch of the Impact Challenges, offering a hackathon-like approach to tackle real business, governance, semantics and technological challenges to enable adoption and scaling
- Dynamic Networking Dinner, the perfect opportunity to renew existing contacts or make new ones
Thursday 19 March
- Full focus tracks on data sharing, Digital Product Passports (DPP) and Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET) in a parallel programme
