How can we make data sharing infrastructure more connected – a chance to contribute to the debate

Data is critical for UK utilities as it underpins everything from operational efficiency to regulatory compliance and customer service. Utilities companies must come together to improve data sharing to unlock innovation, empower customers and support decarbonisation objectives. Data sharing, however, comes with challenges including commercial sensitivities, privacy risk, and standards and interoperability. Join this session to collaboratively overcome these challenges with your peers and drive tangible change.  

Discussion points:  

• What will it take to make data sharing as easy as using a smart phone while also making it secure, robust and legally compliant?   

• What people are working on and where achievements and progress has been made  

• What areas are causing the most headaches and what change is needed to make progress faster? 

• How can we best balance speed of progress with collaboration to ensure data sharing infrastructures can easily inter-operate if and as needed? 

• Which organisations are currently supporting the linking up of DSI initiatives across sectors?
