Abstract Private and public organizations hoard troves of data yet remain unable to unlock its full business potential. Data exchange platforms powered by adapted technology and driven by data exchange strategies act as catalysts to develop data ecosystems and data spaces, accelerate data circulation, and liberate its value. Data spaces are powerful business, innovation, and societal enablers, whose growth and success rely on their ability to foster and develop trust. Data exchange platforms contribute a lot to building trust as they provide the required tools and automation to data acquirers, data providers, and data exchange services providers to operate at scale within secure and compliant environments. New and upcoming European regulatory frameworks also contribute to raising trust as they foster a harmonized data ecosystem across member states and define the rules of engagement between businesses, governments, and individuals engaged in data sharing and exchange. Additionally, data exchange environments must provide traceability at all levels of the data transactions, which is particularly needed in increasingly complex data ecosystems. Finally, in order to provide the flexibility required to answer the needs of complex, distributed, and heterogeneous environments, different models of data exchange governance are necessary.
