Swash was recently recognised by the EU Commission as a leading example of a data intermediary, marking the shift towards a more innovative and user-centric data future on a macro policy level.
It's an important milestone that endorses the model that Swash created and acknowledges Swash ecosystem efforts to drive this new approach forward.
This piece is informed by the recent EU Data Governance Act, which explores the landscape of inclusive data governance at EU policy level. Swash is the first and most successful use case of its kind, having been used as a pioneering example of what others will be expected to do in the near future in order to comply.
