An agreement between IDSA and IDTA strengthens interoperability in industrial data ecosystems

March 16, 2026

DESCRIPCIÓN

The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) and the Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA) have formalized a collaboration agreement to connect two key standards in industrial digitalization: the Asset Administration Shell (AAS), considered the global standard for industrial digital twins, and the Dataspace Protocol, which enables secure data exchange in decentralized data spaces.

This collaboration aims to foster more interoperable and trustworthy industrial data ecosystems. By combining both approaches, organizations will be able to securely share structured information from digital twins across companies and entire value chains. The agreement, signed during a joint meeting of both communities in Frankfurt, lays the foundation for developing new data-driven business models and scaling advanced applications such as AI in industrial environments.

At BAIDATA, we share this vision and celebrate this important agreement for the growth of the data economy. While data spaces allow information exchange with guarantees of sovereignty and control, standards like the Asset Administration Shell structure and contextualize industrial asset data, facilitating interoperability across the entire value chain.

This alliance follows the steps of the agreement we at BAIDATA reached with IDTA in 2025. Our agreement shares the same goal: to promote the combination of AAS + Data Spaces as the winning architecture for the Data Economy. BAIDATA is already executing a plan to address this challenge and transfer this competitive advantage to our partners by activating our four strategic pillars: Knowledge, Talent, Innovation, and Ecosystem.
