The Mobility Data Space (MDS) is a data marketplace where equal partners from the mobility sector can exchange data. The data provider remains the owner of the data at all times and can autonomously decide whether and with which member to enter into data exchange.

The goal is to create a cross-company data economy in order to realize and further develop innovative, environmentally and user-friendly mobility concepts. In doing so, the MDS brings together companies, organizations and institutions: those that want to monetize their data treasures and those that need data for innovative mobility solutions, but in many cases also to create a win-win situation for mutual benefit through a targeted exchange. For this purpose, the MDS creates the framework for a trusting cooperation.

The Mobility Data Space’s operator – DRM Datenraum Mobilität GmbH – is a company without the intention of making a profit. It grew out of a project initiated by acatech – National Academy of Science and Engineering and is funded by the German federal government.
