Developed by the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC), this Starter Kit serves as a practical resource for emerging data spaces. It provides guidance, reference materials, and tools to help new initiatives design and implement effective data-sharing ecosystems.

The kit supports organisations in understanding the core principles, standards, governance models, and technologies that underpin trustworthy and interoperable data spaces. It also connects users with a growing community of experts and practitioners working on data sharing across Europe.

As part of the broader European Data Strategy and the Digital Europe Programme, the Starter Kit contributes to building a vibrant and competitive European data economy, promoting collaboration, innovation, and data sovereignty across strategic sectors.
