Trusted data for trusted AI
Open source stack for European data spaces
As the world enters a complex transition driven by environmental challenges, energy transformation, demographic change, digitalization, and rapid advances in AI and robotics, trusted and interoperable data infrastructures are essential to empower people, organisations, and innovation at scale.
Prometheus-X provides an open source, lightweight, and easy-to-deploy stack for European data spaces, enabling trusted data sharing and trustworthy AI from cloud to edge. Through a unique service chain, it integrates trustworthy AI functionalities, secure data exchange, and personal data management, ensuring data sovereignty by design.
Prometheus-X is interoperable with other leading stacks such as EDC, SIMPL, and FIWARE, and is developed by a large, cross-sector open source community, making data spaces accessible and practical for individuals, public institutions, and organisations across Europe.

Mission
At Prometheus-X, we have an ambitious and yet clear mission: to improve the competitiveness of the EU economy by creating a trustworthy and interoperable infrastructure and enabling individuals, researchers and organizations to share data responsibly. Our goal is to make a better use out of high-quality data and drive innovation in the education and skills, tourism, media and other sectors.
Vision
Knowledge becomes truly powerful when it is shared! Prometheus-X aims to strengthen Europe’s global competitiveness by enabling seamless, secure, and decentralized data exchange across various sectors. Individuals, organizations and business should enhance personal AND non-personal data exchange to bridge the gap between market needs and available potentials. Our goal is to revolutionize data sharing, empower collaboration, and create a data-driven ecosystem that shapes the future.
Use cases
Data spaces are unlocking new use cases for trustworthy data transactions
A strong theory is reflected in practical applications, which is why within Prometheus-X around 30 use cases were developed to demonstrate the significance of our mission. These use cases illustrate how data can be shared responsibly and effectively to solve real-world challenges. They highlight interactions between users and systems, showing how data-driven solutions can improve outcomes in various fields. At Prometheus-X, we focus on well-defined objectives and showcase concrete examples of how data spaces can be leveraged to their fullest potential, ensuring meaningful impact in everyday life.
Building blocks
Open source components to build human centric data spaces
Prometheus-X building blocks make it easy to build data spaces handling different types of data, including personal data as well. We are working on more than 20 open-source digital commons, building blocks which make it possible to set up a reliable data sharing infrastructure. They belong to four categories (core, trustworthy data sharing, data transformation, utility), designed to provide well-defined services that facilitate trustworthy data sharing in multiple aspects.

Prometheus-X is co-funded
by the European Union and France
This project is aligned with the Digital Europe Programme which is investing 7+ billion euros to allow the European Union, its member states, organisations, and citizens to have data sovereignty thanks to an innovative and decentralised data infrastructure; manifested through the European common data spaces and the SIMPL smart middleware platform.
This project aims to create innovative building blocks that will enable this decentralised infrastructure. It also helps finance sectoral use cases to apply those building blocks to solve real issues organisations and people are facing so as to ensure their value and adoption. This funding is needed as organisations will not finance this innovation on their own, especially in the education and skills sector which is largely composed of public actors and SMEs.
European Union
The European Commission is co-funding the data spaces and infrastructure construction through the Digital Europe program.
France Relance
Prometheus-X is co-funded through the France Relance program (Appel à Projet "ATF : Plateformes numériques et mutualisation de données pour les filières").
