EU Data Act applies today — Get your IoT system ready with our technical guide
The EU Data Act applies today, 12 September 2025.
As an OEM and Data Holder under the EU Data Act, you have to fulfill two main obligations with technical implications:
- sharing data with users
- sharing data with third parties
But, you have a right too, and it would be a shame not to exploit it:
- collecting a compensation from third parties
The EU Data Act aims to stimulate a competitive data market, create opportunities for data-driven innovation, and generate new, innovative services and competitive prices for connected aftermarket services by making data more accessible to all stakeholders in the data economy. To this end, the law clarifies who can use what data and under what conditions, ensuring the fair allocation of data value among all stakeholders.
To stay compliant with the EU Data Act, companies need to consider the legal, organisational and technical aspects.
To support you in understanding, planning, and implementing the technical obligations of the EU Data Act and its impact on your IoT system, we have developed a comprehensive technical guide. The goal of this guide is to support you in ensuring full compliance with the technical obligations of EU Data Act. Here's what you'll find inside the guide:
