GAIA-X is a framework for secure data sharing and utilization between companies. Since there are limitations to the data that each company can collect individually, collaboration allows companies to efficiently obtain information on product life cycles and supply chains. This will promote efforts to improve productivity and decarbonize.
One of the key features of GAIA-X is "data sovereignty." It is a mechanism that allows companies to specify who will use their data, allowing highly confidential information to be shared safely and protecting it from unauthorized access and cyber attacks.
The purpose of GAIA-X is to build a safe and reliable open infrastructure and increase the competitiveness of companies. Currently, major global companies such as Amazon and Google from the US and Alibaba Group from China are participating in this framework, and it is expected to continue to expand.
