Participate in the Data Space Accelerator Study
Help shape the future of industrial data spaces through productive data exchange. Companies that participate in the study contribute valuable real-world insights while exploring new opportunities for digital collaboration and may receive remuneration based on verified study results.
What is the Data Space Accelerator?
The Data Space Accelerator (DSA) is a large-scale study exploring how companies create value by securely exchanging data across organizations through industrial data spaces.
Using Catena-X as the reference data space, participating companies contribute to real-world research while gaining practical experience with trusted data exchange. The study is designed to better understand how data spaces improve collaboration, increase efficiency, and enable new digital business opportunities across global supply chains.
Why It Matters
Automotive manufacturers are increasingly requiring suppliers to exchange trusted sustainability, compliance, traceability, and carbon data through digital ecosystems such as Catena-X.
As these expectations expand across the automotive supply chain, electronics manufacturers and suppliers are facing new requirements for standardized, interoperable data exchange.
Participating in the Data Space Accelerator helps organizations better understand and prepare for this evolving business environment while contributing to industry-wide research.
Why Participate?
Participating organizations have the opportunity to:
- Prepare for evolving automotive customer requirements.
- Gain practical experience with trusted industrial data exchange.
- Build readiness for Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) and Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiatives.
- Help advance interoperable data spaces across the electronics industry.
- Contribute to industry research while exploring new digital business opportunities.
- Eligible participating companies may receive remuneration based on verified study participation and productive data exchange.
Participating Companies May Receive Remuneration
Eligible participating companies may receive remuneration of up to €30,000 based on verified productive data exchange, study participation, and applicable program requirements. Remuneration amounts vary by country.
Who Should Participate?
The Data Space Accelerator study primarily targets European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Mid-Caps, but companies of all sizes are encouraged to participate if they meet the program requirements.
Participation is available to companies located in eligible countries, including many European countries as well as select countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Israel, Singapore, and others.
Why Register Through the Global Electronics Association?
The Global Electronics Association is helping electronics companies understand and prepare for emerging data exchange requirements by connecting organizations with the Data Space Accelerator study and supporting broader industry interoperability initiatives.
Applications Are Now Open
The Data Space Accelerator is currently accepting participants.
Participation opportunities and remuneration are available through the end of 2026, subject to program availability and eligibility requirements. Interested companies are encouraged to begin the registration process early.
