O-CEI Horizon at the FIWARE Global Summit 2026
From connected vehicles to connected borders, data is becoming a critical layer of Europe’s transport infrastructure. This topic took centre stage at the FIWARE Global Summit 2026, where O-CEI Horizon partner ERTICO – ITS Europe contributed to discussions on the future of data spaces for mobility and logistics.
As part of the programme, Eusebiu Catana delivered a keynote entitled “Making Data Spaces Happen – focus on mobility and logistics”, presenting O-CEI Horizon Pilot 2 and examining how data spaces, standards, governance models and cross-border partnerships could turn data sharing into real-world transport and logistics applications.
The presentation focused on concrete priorities for deployment, including the data, standards, governance frameworks and partnerships needed to enable effective cross-border data sharing. It also highlighted the potential of Data Spaces to become a new layer of European transport infrastructure, supporting autonomous vehicles operating across borders, enabling secure logistics data exchange across complex supply chains, and allowing transport authorities and operators to coordinate in real time.
The discussion reflected a central challenge for the European mobility ecosystem: ensuring that data can move as freely, securely and seamlessly as the vehicles, people and goods it connects. Through Pilot 2, O-CEI Horizon is exploring how interoperable Cloud-Edge-IoT technologies and trusted data sharing can contribute to this transition and support more connected, resilient and efficient transport systems.
