Sovereign Data Spaces
A national government administration needed its agencies to share data without losing control of it.
Dozens of agencies holding data in separate systems, with no common layer to make it discoverable or trusted across organisational boundaries. The administration needed interoperability without centralisation.
500+
data sources connected across agencies and organisations without centralising them
Zero
data migration required. Each organisation keeps full sovereignty over its own systems and data

WHAT IT DELIVERS
Data that can be shared across organisations without losing control of it.
Every dataset becomes discoverable and accessible to authorised agencies and developers. No migration, no duplication, no loss of control.
Data stays in each organisation’s own systems. There is no central repository. Each agency controls what it publishes and who can access it.
All datasets are published through a single, discoverable catalogue. Authorised users find and access what they need without requesting exports or bespoke integrations.
Adding a new organisation to the data space requires connecting their systems and setting access rules. Nothing else changes.
What to expect during the demo call
01
Agencies and organisations that could not previously share data reliably now do so through a common, trusted infrastructure, without losing control of their own data.
02
Developers and service designers access governed data products through APIs, without manual exports or bespoke integrations. New services are built faster and on data that can be trusted.
03
The same infrastructure that serves internal users also publishes data to citizens, businesses and regulators. Compliance with open data obligations and national interoperability frameworks, including UNE 0087:2025, is structural, not a separate project.
Connect without centralising. Govern without constraining.
What it looks like in a national government administration
-
500+
Data sources connected
Across agencies and organisations, without moving or centralising any of it.
-
Zero
Data migration required
Each agency’s data stayed in its own systems. The governed access layer connected everything without replication.
-
Weeks
To first governed data products
Published and accessible via API from existing agency systems, aligned with DCAT-AP-ES.
-
One
Portal replaced
The existing open data portal was replaced without a data migration project. New cross-agency services launched from the same foundation.
