“Data Mesh and the EU Data Act:
how Data Products Share Data
between Organizations”
The forthcoming EU Data Act is opening up data to users and customers, with one consequence being a rise in B2B data sharing. Many companies welcome this legislation: they’ll finally be able to use data from laboratory equipment, manufacturing equipment, vehicle fleets, and more. But right to access doesn’t imply ease of use. Fortunately, data products are designed for exactly the kind of inter-organizational, governed data sharing we expect the Data Act will mandate. This talk will cover how Data Mesh and Data Products will simplify sharing and accessing data across organizational boundaries.
