– 150 education and skills services

During this presentation, we had the privilege of hearing from the following speakers:

  • Francesco Bonfiglio from GAIA-X
  • Christopher Wilson from MyData
  • Matthias De Bièvre from Prometheus-X

These experts shared their knowledge and vision, laying the foundation for this ambitious project.

Innovative Ideas and Lively Discussions

The event also provided an opportunity to explore several concrete data ecosystems developed as part of the Prometheus-X project through panel discussions.
