The GAIA-X Initiative announced that it is one step closer to its goal of a trustworthy, sovereign digital infrastructure for Europe, with the official signing of incorporation papers for GAIA-X AISBL, a non-profit association that will take the project to the next level.

"We are deeply motivated to meet the challenges of the European digital economy," said Servane Augier, COO at 3DS OUTSCALE. "Through GAIA-X, we are building, all together, a sovereign and reliable digital infrastructure and an ecosystem for innovation in Europe. In this way, we will strengthen the digital sovereignty of businesses, research and education, governments and society as a whole."

While final incorporation is pending, the founding members of GAIA-X AISBL are seeking active participation and membership from national and multi-national, European and non-European companies, as well as partners in the worlds of science and politics, who share European standards and values.

"Participation in the GAIA-X project is a logical step in our intention to further expand our innovative strength. The goals of the GAIA-X project-striving for data sovereignty, reducing dependencies, establishing cloud services on a broad scale and creating an open ecosystem for innovation-are fully in line with our own efforts."

Overall, the GAIA-X founders aim to establish a culture of trust, knowledge exchange and transparency.
