Press Room & Agenda

Four Asturian organizations — CTIC, Futuver, Libelium and FINBA — will gather on Friday, May 22 at the Edificio Impulsa in Gijón to address one of today's biggest challenges: how to share data ethically, securely and in compliance with regulations. The event, which will start at 9:00 AM with a breakfast and networking coffee, will include a roundtable with Chus García (CTIC), José María Pérez (Futuver), Ana Lodeiro (Libelium) and Daniel Álvarez (Finba), where real-world projects, governance challenges and key insights for generating value from data will be discussed.

The event, promoted by Castroalonso with the support of the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service and CRED (Data Spaces Reference Center), will also feature a live demo of Data-X, the intelligent solution designed to assess regulatory compliance of data spaces. Gijón’s Deputy Mayor, Ángela Pumariega, will close the session at 10:30 AM. Attendance is free, and those interested can obtain more information through the tool’s website: DATA-X | Data Spaces Validation.

Next January 29, the 1st National Data Spaces Meeting: sharing data, building the future will take place, an online event that will bring together the main players in the data economy field in Spain.

The event will feature interventions by ministers Óscar López (Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service) and Mónica García (Ministry of Health), along with Raquel Yotti, commissioner of the PERTE for Advanced Health; Juan Fernando Muñoz, general secretary of Digital Health; and Noemi Civicos, general director of Digital Health.

Also participating will be professionals from Red.es, data space promoters and applicants for the Data Spaces Kit, as well as María González Veracruz (Secretariat of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence). From datos.gob.es – General Directorate of Data, Ruth del Campo will present the National Health Data Space (ENDS), while Antonio Alcolea Muñoz and Carlos Alonso Peña will serve as moderators for the round tables.

The meeting will address real use cases that demonstrate how data spaces make it possible to detect, prevent and make intelligent decisions based on shared information, improving people’s lives and driving businesses and administrations forward. Sectors such as health, agrifood and mobility are already taking advantage of these opportunities to anticipate infectious outbreaks, prevent pests or optimize services, among other examples.

At Castroalonso we closely follow these advances because we are convinced that the data economy and data spaces are key to building the future.

Castroalonso will be present at the third day of Data Week in Asturias, where our colleague Dianet Jardines Galcerán will share her expertise in a panel dedicated to data governance, artificial intelligence and data spaces.
