The world’s leading event on data spaces enters its fifth edition – and is coming to Brussels! 

European data spaces are gaining ground. Organisations across sectors are moving from exploration to implementation, and the conversation is shifting towards what viable participation looks like at scale. 

The Data Spaces Symposium 2027 is where that conversation happens. It brings together organisations building and operating data spaces, businesses looking for value in joining them and policymakers shaping the conditions for adoption.

Three themes shape the 2027 programme: the business value and impact of data spaces; scaling as the route to financial viability and long-term sustainability; and data spaces as enablers for industrial AI and a foundation for its trustworthiness. The European Data Space Awards will recognise initiatives that have made measurable progress in these areas.  

The fifth edition of the symposium takes place on 9–10 March 2027 at The EGG in Brussels, organised by the Data Spaces Support Centre together with BDVA, Gaia-X, IDSA, and partners across the ecosystem.  

Registration opens in late September/early October 2026. 

Venue: The EGG, Rue Bara, 175 1070 Brussels ,Belgium 

Date: 09–10 March 2027​
