SUMMARY:EU-JAPAN DIGITAL WEEK 2025
DESCRIPTION:Europe and Japan are advancing trusted data exchange through Data Spaces and Data Free Flow with Trust\, respectively. Europe is establishing industry-wide Data Spaces in several key sectors (like Health\, Mobility\, and Energy)\, while Japan focuses on enabling secure data sharing across entities. \nO-CEI adopts Data Space technology as a foundation for its Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum\, referencing initiatives like Gaia-X\, IDSA\, and implementations such as SIMPL and EDC. \nOn April 4th\, during the “Towards Interoperable Data Spaces – Practical Considerations” workshop\, Martin Bauer (NEC Laboratories) will present a case study on the Experience of implementing an EU-Japan cross-data space.  \nDue to the need for technology sovereignty of the countries and regions\, EU and Japan have developed their own protocol stacks for creating data spaces.  Given the strongly connected economies\, the need for connecting different data spaces across borders has become obvious. This project is probably one of the first experiments that is connecting a Japanese data space with a European Data Space using a technology concept nowadays called Data Space Intermediaries. The guiding use case is carbon accounting along the supply chain of a product assembled from parts in Japan and the EU. The talk will report on the technical approach taken and will also highlight fundamental problems in data space concepts and related standards that prevent a 100% legally compliant connection of the two data spaces.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Digital ID management and data governance through emerging edge computing and DLT solutions
DESCRIPTION:Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence\, edge computing\, and blockchain have propelled European industries and societies into a new era of an AI-driven Age\, which is transforming everything and changing it right now\, in real-time.  These converging technologies are reshaping the industrial fabric of our world\, enabling swift adaptation of individual sectors due to economic and climate challenges\, and in essence demanding cross-sector cooperation to drive a competitive and sustainable transition of key sectors like mobility\, buildings\, or energy. \n\n\nEnergy systems are becoming increasingly decentralized\, driven by the rise in renewable energy sources and electrical assets. Flexible assets such as electric vehicles\, heat pumps\, solar panels\, and residential batteries\, etc. will link the energy sector to mobility and living to benefit from affordable green electricity and reduce its carbon footprint. At the core of the AI-driven age\, secure and trusted methods will be required to safely integrate energy flows across different sectors and allow different energy assets to interact with the grid in a trusted manner. \n\n\nThe objective of the workshop is to address trusted and seamless data exchange across different sectors and explore aspects like ID management\, distributed ledger\, digital wallet\, SSI\, and edge computing for key applications that are piloted through the pilot project O-CEI\, like smart building\, Ev charging\, etc… Core of the discussion will be to identify key enablers for a secure approach that enables identity-related information to be safely verified and exchanged between different parties\, extending from current industrial initiatives for building a mature technology base to piloting IoT platforms and decentralized intelligence applications. In this context\, it seems promising to explore the role Blockchain and other Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT; like Ethereum\, IOTA\, Hyperledger\, and others) could play in underpinning such systems of fully or at least largely decentralized identification. \n\n\nThe EU-funded O-CEI project will pilot cutting-edge solutions to drive cross-domain standards for flexible energy solutions by orchestrating cross-domain data sharing\, minimizing energy footprint\,  and promoting open standards for virtualization and interoperability. It targets the adoption of edge paradigms and technologies in real-world environments in areas like electromobility\, software-defined vehicles\, logistics\, smart agriculture and agri-food\, smart urban environments\, and multiple electricity grid management. \n\n\nThe focus of the workshop should be on related application scenarios across sectors\, the underlying ID and data governance\, and its potential use of distributed ledge technologies – with an unwavering commitment to preserving people’s sovereignty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n					\n							\n									Register here\n					\n					Proposed agenda and speakers:				\n							\n							\n													\n										 09.30 – 09.50 \n									\n						\n		European Commission intervention 		\n							\n							\n													\n										Rolf Riemenschneider\n									\n								\n													\n										European Commission\n									\n						\n		EC intervention for policy in Decentralized ID\, sovereignty and DLT in energy-related large IoT deployments 		\n					Panel				\n					Decentralized ID in DERs				\n							\n							\n													\n										 09.50 – 10.00 \n									\n						\n		Panel introduction 		\n							\n							\n													\n										Prof. Carlos E.
