iris360 Data Space: The Gateway to European Data Spaces

Libelium’s platform connects companies and public bodies to the data economy.

Over the last decade, we have witnessed an unprecedented concentration of digital value. Large technology platforms have monopolized the access and monetization of data, acting as intermediaries that extract value generated by millions of European users and companies without that value fairly returning to the local productive sector.

In contrast to this extractive model, Europe is promoting an alternative based on sovereignty, collaboration, and fairness: European Data Spaces.

To boost this secure data economy, the Spanish Government has launched the Data Space Digital Kit, offering grants for companies (up to 30,000 euros) and administrations (up to 50,000 euros) with high digital maturity to integrate their data into sectoral data spaces.

What is a Data Space?

It is a shared digital infrastructure that allows different organizations (companies, public administrations, research centers) to exchange data securely, controlled, and in a standardized way.

This represents a paradigm shift: data is no longer just stored; it is shared and reused to generate collective value.

Check out some examples of data spaces Libelium is already working on.

Connect, share, and generate value

Entering a Data Space means complying with European standards, ensuring governance, and guaranteeing traceability. iris360, developed by Libelium, facilitates this process by integrating IoT, Data Spaces, and Digital Twins in a single, modular environment.

How can Libelium help you?

Libelium acts as a bridge between the physical world (IoT sensors and devices) and the digital world (data-based services), facilitating any organization’s integration into these new ecosystems. 

Through our iris360 platform, we offer an integral solution that simplifies and accelerates the adherence process:

Ready-to-use technology:

iris360 is the first platform that integrates IoT, Data Spaces, and Digital Twins. It includes all necessary technical modules: data space connector, identity management, interoperability with European standards (FIWARE, NGSI-LD), and a governance system that complies with current regulations.

Immediate connection to key spaces:

The platform allows direct integration with the main sectoral data spaces in which Libelium is already participating actively, such as GeoSpaceData (geospatial data), DEPLOYTOUR (tourism), Geo4Water (natural disasters) or BeatTheHeat (heat islands and urban comfort).

Comprehensive Support:

Libelium not only provides the technology, but also offers the necessary technical advice and support to prepare the application, justify the project, and ensure compliance with all requirements of the call for proposals.

Why is this relevant?

In a federated ecosystem where different actors -city councils, universities, companies— share data in a governed and secure way, everyone benefits.

Example: A city council can share mobility data with transport companies to plan more efficient routes and, at the same time, with service design companies to create new applications for citizens, such as real-time multimodal transport recommendation systems or demand-adapted micromobility solutions. 

Or to develop personalized commercial offers in high-traffic areas, like discounts at stores or restaurants near public transport stops. 

Or to drive more sustainable last-mile logistics projects, optimizing delivery routes and reducing the carbon footprint in the city center. 

Or to design smoother urban experiences, identifying pedestrian congestion points and proposing alternative routes or new services to improve people flow.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless.

This is about building a fairer and more distributed digital economy, where local companies and administrations can collaborate, create new services, and generate wealth that does revert to their environment. The Data Space Kit program is the financial tool to materialize this change, offering the necessary boost for organizations to join this new sovereign digital economy.
