APIIDA becomes Day 1 member of Gaia-X

APIIDA, one of the leading technology companies for the provision of software solutions that enable secure, connected, real-time digital value chains, formalizes its status as a Day-1 member of the GAIA-X project.

Aiming to make a strong contribution to the development of a secure, reliable and certified network infrastructure for data sharing and access across Europe, the GAIA-X project is a step towards a cloud offering based on European values .

APIIDA brings deep expertise in cloud-native trusted identity management, API management, and real-time data streaming to the project, and actively shares industry knowledge, best practices, and use cases.

GAIA-X, which is expected to be launched as early as 2021, acts as a legal entity supported by the European Commission according to the standards set by its members. It is a project open to all countries that decide to contribute to its growth and join as members, with the aim of offering European companies a secure cloud network using the standards guaranteed by the European institutional system.

A total of 22 companies and founding associations are behind the project, and there are also other vendors that have recently been officially recognized, including APIIDA, which is named as a Day 1 member of the project.

“We are honored to be a Day 1 member of the European Union’s GAIA-X data infrastructure initiative and look forward to collaborating with other European companies and organizations,” said Detlef Purschke, CEO of APIIDA. “We are aware of how valuable and how much of a strategic resource data represents for every company and beyond. GAIA-X is an important initiative for all European companies as it requires a greater focus on data governance, digital sovereignty, enforcement of privacy and data ownership to its citizens.”
