  The INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES INITIATIVE was set up jointly by German business, political and research communities. Its key objective is to establish both the development and utilization of INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES at both European and international levels. The association pools the interests of users in industry, services and the retail trade. INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES stands for secure data exchange between companies in which the data provider is always the owner of that data and still keeps control over the use of their data. The INTERNATIONAL DATA SPACES ASSOCIATION defines the basic conditions and governance for a reference architecture and interfaces with the objective of setting up an international standard. It forms the basis for a variety of certifiable software solutions, smart services and business models, the development of which is encouraged by the association. This standard is actively developed and updated on the basis of use cases.

  GlobalGate is a provider of strategic consulting for corporate learning and individually designed corporate academies and blended learning arrangements that are combined with multimedial learning environments. GlobalGate works closely together with universities, research institutions and associations. 1. We focus on knowledge: Knowledge is a key success factor in our information society. That is absolutely clear to us today. And that is why we help our customers to make full use of this competitive factor to their own advantage by using a modern training approach to develop and establish a new culture of learning. 2. We have an integrated approach: We deliver everything from one source – from our comprehensive consulting services and educational concept design through to carrying out and evaluating the training programmes themselves. 3. We rethink learning: Skills-based rather than qualification-based. Customized rather than standard. Educationally well-thought out, combined with professional implementation. That’s how we design our training and professional development programmes. That’s what makes learning effective. 4. We love media: The quality and diversity of the media is what makes e-learning effective. That’s why we produce our media ourselves. Whether it’s explanatory films, clickbooks or interviews with experts – the media professionals in our team guarantee media which deliver highly effective learning and are fun as well – and all of the very best (film) Quality.
