Unlocking the Data Economy: The EU Data Act in Practice
summary
Panel explains that the Data Act is live since September 2025 but immediately runs into operational problems: seven overlapping chapters create conflicting scopes (product data vs. personal data vs. cloud “data processing services”); companies drag their feet on access, few implementations exist (four member states implemented), and there are no court precedents yet. Practical notes: hobbyist hacks can pull fridge or e‑bike logs, cars use an OBD‑II connector and providers may charge ~€30/month. Expect enforcement gaps, missing standards, and heavy costs before usable data markets.
