Invitation to the Kick-off Meeting: Project Group “E2E Security in Industrial Dataspaces”
When: April 29, 2026, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm (reception from 9:30 am.) All participants are invited to a lunch at Intel.
Where: Intel Deutschland GmbH, Dornacher Str 1, 85622 Feldkirchen
The European industry needs resilient supply chains. In the funded project Semiconductor-X, a team of 30 partners is developing the concept for interoperable data exchange in the semiconductor industry. The project also serves as the security reference for the entire Manufacturing-X program, covering a large part of German industry (automotive, aerospace, chemicals, energy, mechanical engineering).
Data exchange is highly sensitive: IP and manufacturing data represent billions in value. Currently, this initiative is strongly driven by data space architects – now the security community is needed! We want to turn security from a “blocker” into an “enabler”.
The goal of this project group is to jointly define a future-proof, end-to-end security concept for the industrial data space that will become the blueprint for secure digital collaboration across all industrial sectors. This is arguably one of the most critical challenges for Europe today: without a standardized, highly secure, yet cost-effective data exchange, Europe’s industry cannot achieve the resilience and sovereignty needed to survive in a disaggregated global economy.

Workshop Agenda
10:00-10:20 am: Welcome and Overview of Manufacturing-X and Semiconductor-X Projects’ ( Harald Gossner, Senior Principal Engineer Intel)
10:20-10:40 am: Architecture of the Manufacturing-X Data Space and its OSS Ecosystem’ (Per-Henrik Addicks, Lead Architect SAP)
10:40-11:00 am: Challenges and Chances of a Secure Industrial Dataspace (Haris Avgoustinos, CEO EXPO21XX GmbH)
11:00-11:20 am: First Layout of an E2E Security Concept’ ( Gerd Brost, Research Fellow Fraunhofer AISEC)
11:20-12:00 am: Open Discussion – Feedback to proposed E2E Security approach
- Which security standards are relevant for the industrial data space on a global scale?
- New threats by LLM driven exploitations? Are they covered by current standards?
- Roles of security industry, government, and certification bodies for the E2E Security?
Join us to enable digital collaboration through industrial value chains with TRUST in federated Dataspaces!
