Dear Luana Campa

The summit will be hosted in partnership with Gaia-X Hub Portugal and supported by key national and European stakeholders.
In a year defined by the convergence of AI, trust, and digital sovereignty, the Gaia-X Summit offers a front-row seat to the most advanced, implementation-ready data ecosystems in Europe — and the world. This year’s edition highlights the tangible impact of federated, interoperable, and trustworthy data infrastructure, built on open standards and aligned with both European and global regulatory frameworks.
From generative AI for semantic interoperability to domain-specific trust extensions in sectors such as aerospace and nuclear, this is the space where digital collaboration becomes reality. We will also showcase the Gaia-X Trust Framework 3.0 – “Danube” Release, and preview the Catalogue of Catalogues, enabling navigation of active Gaia-X-compliant ecosystems.
The * Press Conference * will take place on * Thursday, 20 November *, from * 08:30 to 09:30am *, in Porto and online. It will feature * (To be confirmed) * :
