Gaia-X Roadshow – Rhine-Neckar
Under the headline: Competitive advantages through data rooms – more added value for companies
On September 24, 2025, the Gaia-X Roadshow will be making a stopover in Heidelberg and invites SMEs from the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region in particular to find out about the opportunities and potential of digital data ecosystems. Let’s find out together how regional companies can benefit from sharing data securely and confidently and actively participating in European data spaces.
Of course, we from PFALZKOM will also be present. The focus will be on practical insights from regional players and concrete application examples to create new business models and competitive advantages through the shared use of data. We will also be focusing on the Data Act, which will lay down binding rules for accessing, using and sharing company data from September.
We offer you the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming changes and make your company fit for the digital future.
When? We start on September 24 at 8.00 a.m. and finish at around 11.30 a.m. at the IHK Rhein-Neckar.
Where? The exact address is “Haus der Wirtschaft”, Hans-Böckler-Straße 4 in Heidelberg.
