It seems you're also a bit skeptical re the data part of the plan. Indeed, GDPR, the Data Governance Act and the Data Act already tried to make data more readily available. And industry concerns about data spaces are valid and the plan does not propose any new ways to address these concerns. The data we're talking about is highly valuable, proprietary data and it is not clear to me why any data owner should submit this data to a European "common crawl" ...
I had the pleasure (?) of negotiating both Data Governance Act and Data Act for the European Parliament.
Indeed, it became painfully obvious that there is gaping hole between the Commission's political dream of vast data lakes just waiting to be extracted, and the reality of the role of data as a strategic, differentiating factor for companies.
In addition, "data" in abstract is so vague a concept that is actively harmful as it matters greatly whether it comes in right time, in right format and in right context, or not.
Just read you last post. Some very good points. I think you might find my new book Industrial Policy for the United States interesting. Please take a look at its website, at IndustrialPolicy.US. -Ian
