Gaia-X Hub Austria VISION
WHAT: The European Gaia-X initiative stipulates a model that is fair and open to everyone, and on the basis of which organizations of all types can exchange data and establish data-based business models.
WHY: The ever-increasing pace of digitalization in all areas of life means that the prosperity of the current and future generations will be affected significantly by success (or lack thereof) in the area of data-based business models. For this reason, organizations of all types are developing new and innovative digital business models. Organizations employing the Gaia-X ruleset will be able to trust that they can maintain control over their data, reduce the dependency on individual cloud providers, and significantly decrease their individual costs and technical implementation risks relating to the establishment of data exchange systems.
FOR WHOM: Austria’s innovative businesses that are successful today thanks to their outstanding technological capabilities can maintain their existing market positions as well as achieve new value creation by way of data-based business models. Public administration organizations in various areas including security, education, transport, health, and citizen services can develop effective and modern services using innovative models for data exchange and processing. The purpose of Gaia-X is to significantly accelerate these undertakings and support them comprehensively.
