Emerging as a key component of the data economy, Data Exchanges are now clearly top of the agenda of an increasing number of corporations, public institutions and governments around the world. With new initiatives on frameworks and policies multiplying everywhere such as GAIA-X in Europe, Data Trading Alliance in Japan, the World Economic Forum or the Data Exchange Association (DXA), the market is increasingly being regulated and standardized encouraging the development of trusted cross-border, cross-industry data ecosystems such as JDEX.

This results from a strong commitment impulsed by the Japanese government through its regulations, and initiatives such as the Osaka Track, enabling JDEX to build a rich data community.” stated Laurent Lafaye co-CEO of Dawex.
