i4Trust is breaking down barriers to data sharing
Our main goal is to boost the development of innovative services around new data value chains. We achieve this by providing the right tools, education, coaching and initial funding for the creation of Data Spaces enabling trustworthy and effective data sharing. Ecosystems of collaborating SMEs and supporting DIHs will emerge in a sustainable way around such Data Spaces.

Phase I – i4Trust foundation for Data Spaces
Setting up the common framework that will power the i4Trust Data Spaces:
- Integration of CEF-compatible iShare and FIWARE Building Blocks for data-sharing that cover functional, technical, operational and legal aspects.
- Development of training and onboarding materials for adopters (SMEs) and facilitators (DIHs)
Phase II – i4Trust Community supported by a network of collaborating DIHs
The i4Trust Community of Practice is oriented towards facilitating continuous sharing of knowledge and removing the technical and cultural barriers in data sharing with the support of Digital Innovation Hubs. They will be mobilized, trained and nurtured to become the Local Experts in Data Sharing, lead scouting processes, identify promising use cases and stimulate collaborative work between SMEs.
Phase III – Outreach actions and selection of innovative Bottom-up Experiments
32 experiments, each led by minimum three SMEs and one DIHs, will be selected through 2 rounds of Open Calls that will be promoted by leveraging in partner’s networks that include partnership links to DIH in 25 EU Countries.
Phase IV – i4Trust Data Sharing mentoring programme
Selected experiments will be part of an exclusive 9-months mentorship programme with tailored services, which includes:
- Financial support up to €120,000.00 per each experiment
- Support on Use-Case definition.
- Mentoring support from a pool of mentors in iSHARE Scheme, FIWARE Technologies and Fundraising.
- Support on legal, operational, technical and business.
The objective is to guide the experiments in the implementation of use cases for Data Sharing by using the standard-based open source framework i4Trust provides.
Phase V – Sustainability
This phase will pay attention to pave the way for the sustainability of the i4Trust Community and the outcomes of the experiments beyond the project.
A Data Sharing Playbook will be produced with practical resources that will guide newcomers (DIHs, SMEs and other kinds of organisations) in adopting CEF-compatible iSHARE and FIWARE Building Blocks for Data Sharing. Besides, a set of recommendations for policymakers will be produced, based on the lessons learnt regarding Data Sharing under the initiative.
