Digital payments are becoming more and more popular. With the digital euro, there will also be a digital version of cash in the future. The central banks of the Euro system are working intensively to prepare for its introduction, while the EU is working on a legal basis for the digital euro. The Governing Council will only be able to decide on the actual introduction of the digital euro once this legal framework has been adopted.

Topic II:
Data trustees
The DaTNet project promotes the networking and transfer of knowledge between existing data trustees and data trust initiatives as well as relevant experts within the framework of a competence network. The Competence Network will act as an information and knowledge-sharing hub, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and experience between data trustee projects and enabling participants to build a comprehensive knowledge base.
Panel ‘Data Trustees – New Intermediaries as Drivers of Innovation’
21.10.2024, 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. (national program, probably as above or via website)
Data trustees are ‘new intermediaries’ in the sense of the Data Governance Act. Their innovative function will be illustrated with several examples. The panel will bring together experts in data trustee models and a use case. We ask: What do data trustees do for the digital economy? Where is the added value in terms of data protection, data security and data sovereignty? – The nationwide competence network Datentreuhand DaTNet, coordinated in Hesse, will also be presented.

From the perspective of the Future Strategy for Research and Innovation and the ministries BMBF, BMWK, BMDV, we invite you to join us in a World Café to explore ideas for better networking of data spaces based on the following questions: What does the national data space landscape look like?
