Synergy workshop 2025 – Joint roadmap and revitalization of the SmartLivingNEXT ecosystem through data assets

The first part of the workshop addressed the question of which common challenges the projects are currently facing and which cross-sectionally relevant topics and requirements can be derived from this. In addition to catalogs with overviews of the data sets, service modules, best practices and business models available in the ecosystem, the main needs were formulated with regard to ecosystem-wide standards, e.g. for safety, effectiveness and quality certificates.

The revitalization of the ecosystem through data assets was the focus of the second part of the workshop. As part of a data asset exchange, existing and any desired data assets were recorded in a structured manner, presented and jointly evaluated in terms of their attractiveness and value creation potential. Two key challenges were discussed in the context of the evaluation. While reference prices can potentially be used for value estimation and pricing in application areas such as energy, there are other areas for which this does not apply. One example of this is highly sensitive data that is particularly worthy of protection, which is common in the care sector. Furthermore, no practice or process model has yet been established for pricing data assets from the smart living sector.

The accompanying research is looking forward to addressing the identified challenges and needs in the coming year together with the projects and other program participants in order to develop timely solution strategies!
