The Digital Markets Act (DMA) requires big tech “gatekeepers” to provide real-time data portability tools, but what has been offered so far doesn’t give users meaningful access or control. Join us to test these tools and push for real improvements and accountability on September 25. The DMA is potentially game-changing; let’s ensure consumer control and compliance! This workshop will begin with a brief presentation before discussing how to coordinate and maximize the impact of our review. For background, please see the blog post here. This workshop is free of charge and open to everyone interested in data portability. Registration is required, after registration, you will receive a link to join the workshop. This workshop will explore the needs that public sector agencies will need to address in order to implement and comply with eIDAS 2.0, and what kinds of identity and wallet platforms and services they will likely seek to procure. The workshop will begin with presentations from three public sector agencies regarding anticipated needs and priorities, followed by a structured conversation with MyData Global members who provide or are developing relevant solutions. This workshop builds on the June explainer webinar on eIDAS, which highlighted the demand for anticipating the ecosystems and business models that will enable EUID wallets and other digital wallets to empower individuals and consumers. MyData Global co-organises this workshop with MyData Netherlands Hub and our organisational member InnoValor. The workshop is open to all members of MyData Global and MyData Netherlands Hub.

The European Data Innovation Board (EDIB) discussed these dynamics with the Member States in their most recent meeting on Sept 12, and also considered upcoming developments in European data regulation as a new Commission takes office. In this TG meeting, veteran MyData Global supporter and data policy expert Gianfranco Cecconi will provide some updates and insights from the recent EDIB meeting – that he could attend as an observer – with a special focus on the DGA and other issues relevant to personal data intermediary services. A short presentation will be followed by questions and a moderated discussion.
