Sustainable business models for different actors within emerging data spaces.

The value of data is often purely linked to the value that large amounts of data brought with it (big data). That data was often collected by so-called Big Tech companies (Google, Facebook,..), who maintain vertically integrated silos of data in order to gain a competitive advantage over industry peers. The latter often depend on Big Tech to open up the data at a predetermined price. In addition, the same data is very valuable for the Big Tech companies themselves and the advertisers to whom they sell advertising space.
Data spaces and personal data pod-based solutions make great promises about economic potential. However, a lot of research is still needed to gain a good insight into what these technologies can effectively achieve. The interaction with companies is important in order to gain insight into the current state of affairs and possible developments.

- You perform cutting-edge research in the domain of techno-economic evaluation of digital platform ecosystems enabled by Solid technology
