Accompanying Research Edge Data Economy

In the Edge Data Economy technology programme, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) is funding ten application-oriented collaborative projects that develop and test innovative products, services and business models for data spaces in edge cloud environments. The accompanying research supports the projects in the successful and efficient implementation of their goals, leverages synergy effects together with the projects and prepares the results of the program and the projects for the public. The discussion of technical, ethical, economic and legal cross-cutting issues of the data economy is just as much a part of the accompanying research program as the support of the projects in the development of platform and business models and the program-related networking with key players from business, science and politics. The iit is the consortium leader of the accompanying research. Partners are the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST and PRPetuum GmbH.
