Cofinity-X Dataspace OS: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Dataspace OS from Cofinity-X is a 'Connector-as-a-Service' application that lets organisations link their systems to dataspaces such as Catena-X and, later, others such as Manufacturing-X. It is based on the Eclipse Dataspace Components framework and bundles a connector, a Digital Twin Registry and a Submodel Server. Users share data in an encrypted, authenticated and policy-controlled way, decide who gets access and on what terms, register data assets and manage digital twins from different source systems. It is delivered as a subscription, with onboarding through an API or a user interface and optional integration services.

Cofinity-X GmbH is based in Cologne, Germany, and according to its website was founded as a joint venture of ten companies, with no single dominant owner. No parent country is therefore established. The website does not state where the service is hosted, so ask the vendor. Catena-X is designed so that data moves peer to peer between participants' connectors rather than through a central cloud. The website's privacy policy also names US processors for the website itself.
