Sarenet has incorporated its data space known as HUCAÍN to the Trusted List of Data Spaces promoted by the Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (SEDIA). This recognition accredits the degree of technical, organizational and operational maturity of the project and places it among the small group of data spaces officially recognized in Spain.

Currently, the Trust List includes only 25 data spaces throughout the country, which makes this incorporation a particularly relevant milestone within the national ecosystem of what we know as the data economy.

Scalability adapted to each business

Inclusion on this list implies much more than institutional recognition. To be part of it, HUCAÍN has had to accredit through a specific technical report key aspects such as clear governance, real capacity for secure data exchange, interoperability, sustainability of the model and use cases applicable to the business and industrial environment.

SEDIA established this framework precisely to differentiate those fully operational projects from initiatives that are still in experimental or exclusively R&D phases. In this sense, the incorporation of HUCAÍN validates the consolidation of a real model of collaboration and secure exploitation of data aimed at solving the specific needs of industrial companies.

“This recognition reinforces the work carried out to build a useful, operational data space aligned with European standards of interoperability, security and data sovereignty. Being part of the Trusted List proves that HUCAÍN already has a solid basis to generate real value through the secure exchange of information,” highlights Jon Arberas, general director of Sarenet.

An industry-oriented data space

HUCAÍN collects data through IoT sensors on company consumption, in addition to obtaining relevant information from management systems or ERPs. With all this, it automatically calculates the organization’s carbon footprint. In this way, technical complications for the company are avoided.

Sarenet proposes HUCAÍN to respond to increasingly relevant challenges for the industrial fabric, especially in areas related to traceability, sustainability and the secure exchange of information between organizations.

The data space makes it possible to integrate information from different business and production environments, automate processes associated with carbon footprint and facilitate the reliable exchange of data between different actors in the industrial ecosystem.

All of this is especially relevant in a context marked by new European regulatory requirements, such as the Digital Product Passport, sustainability requirements or the need for advanced traceability in supply chains.

Companies will have to share more and more information related to materials, production processes, emissions or regulatory compliance, not only internally, but also with customers, suppliers, partners and public administrations. In this scenario, having infrastructures prepared to share information in a structured, interoperable and secure way will be a key element for business competitiveness.

Interoperable and secure data spaces

The Trusted List is part of the national and European strategy to promote interoperable and secure data spaces that favor new collaboration models between organizations.

The incorporation of HUCAÍN certifies that the project already meets the necessary standards to operate in environments where reliability, governance and the secure exchange of information will be critical for the development of the digital economy and industrial transformation.

With this recognition, HUCAÍN also reinforces its positioning as one of the reference projects within the Spanish ecosystem of data spaces, consolidating its commitment to innovation, data sovereignty and the advanced digitalization of the industry.
