Italian volleyball proves it in 2026, German sports ecosystems follow from 2027
In 2026, Sport-X shows in Italian volleyball that the Data Space works with real Participants. After that, the model moves to Germany.
Italy proves the model, Germany adopts it
Two stages in 2026, then the step to Germany
Stage 1: pilot from November 2026
Goal: Five real Participants exchange the first real data. Every exchange leaves proof on both sides.
Stage 2: rollout until December 18, 2026
Goal: The Data Space grows to twelve Participants with real Offers and real exchanges.
2027: letters of intent form the base, German ecosystems follow
The goal is more than 25 letters of intent, three of them from Germany. German sports ecosystems follow, for example leagues and federations, state sports confederations, arena operators, and municipal sports facilities.
The proof comes in two stages: five real Participants in November, twelve in December
Working means: a real Participant, a real Offer, a real transfer with proof
Sport-X counts as a working Data Space only when three things come together:
- a real Participant with its own Data Hub (nexyo fabric)
- a real Offer from this Participant
- a real transfer that leaves proof on both sides
Synthetic data always carries a label. The Audit Trail counts real and synthetic data separately. A simulated exchange never counts, and nothing is backdated.
