The EU Data Act – From compliance to value

The EU Data Act introduces fundamental changes to how companies handle data generated by connected products and digital services. At its core, it is not only about regulatory obligations related to data sharing, but also about a strategic shift towards leveraging data in a secure, transparent, and value-driven way.

In our joint webcast with Steelbridge, we will address exactly this perspective, with a clear focus on practical use cases and the key questions companies face when implementing the regulation.

From Regulatory Pressure to Strategic Opportunity:

While the EU Data Act is often perceived primarily as a regulatory challenge, it should equally be seen as a catalyst for innovation and data-driven business models.

The webcast builds on this perspective and demonstrates how regulatory requirements can be translated into tangible business value — ranging from more efficient processes to entirely new services and business models.It provides a concise and practical overview of the EU Data Act, with a particular focus on use cases, key implementation questions, and the upcoming 2026 deadline.

September 12, 2026: The Next Critical Milestone

Are you prepared for the next major regulatory milestone of the Data Act? Starting from September 12, 2026, products and services must be designed in such a way that data can be accessed directly at the product level (“Direct Access” or “Data Act by Design”).

This requirement marks a clear shift from pure compliance to an integrated design approach. Organizations must ensure that data access, usage, and sharing are embedded into products, data structures, and interfaces from the outset.

This has immediate implications for product development, software architecture, and data strategies, making early action essential. We will cover this crucial step in our webcast as well.,

Turning Insight into Action:

The session highlights how organizations can take the next step — moving from regulatory understanding to a structured, future-oriented implementation geared towards maximizing the value of their (IoT) data treasure.
