The i-Space label is a well-established and recognised, European level quality label for European Data Innovation Spaces and Hubs. By qualifying, the applicants prove they meet the BDVA/DAIRO community’s tight criteria to become a trusted data incubator. With the i-Space label, BDVA/DAIRO evaluates and certifies trusted data incubators and their services. Data innovation spaces are cross-sectoral innovation hubs, bringing together data sources, AI technologies, competencies and other aspects required to allow SME’s and start-ups to get their data-driven and AI-related services up and running. The label gives the hubs more opportunities and visibility in Europe while adding value to their local business ecosystem!
