INPACE engages with the @Spade_EUproject, a multi-purpose physical-cyber agri-forest drones ecosystem for governance and environmental observation.

On 28 April, INPACE attended the SPADE E‐Conference 2026: From Data to Decisions – Standards, AI, and Real‐World Pilots in Action. Participants explored SPADE's achievements, pilot results and contributions to European standardisation and regulatory frameworks. INPACE had a booth in the virtual exhibition space on FrameVR.

Within the INPACE framework (Cluster 3 – TWG 8 “Data Technologies”), we surveyed stakeholders across Europe and the Indo-Pacific to understand the maturity, readiness, and cooperation potential of data spaces.

The findings underline the importance of addressing regulatory, technical, and organisational challenges to enable participation in cross-border data spaces.
