Expression of interest: Interest in joining as a partner from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the “Data space for manufacturing” call

Eda can contribute to the “Data Space for Manufacturing” call by supporting SMEs in adopting secure industrial data-sharing practices and preparing high-quality, domain-specific datasets for AI model training. Eda’s role may include:

• engage manufacturing SMEs / factories in BiH, build trust and coordinate data sharing agreements;

• collect high-quality, well-structured manufacturing data from real production environments (process data, IoT/sensor data, production logs, maintenance, supply chain info etc.);

• ensure data governance, anonymisation / privacy compliance and responsible data management — critical prerequisites for participation in a EU-level data space;

• cooperate with international partners, research and technology oriented organizations to align data collection with requirements for training AI models (e.g. generative AI for manufacturing, predictive maintenance, process optimisation);

• provide local context, facilitate stakeholder mobilisation and liaise with SMEs, industry associations, public institutions and other stakeholders across Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region mapping manufacturing data needs,

• engaging relevant manufacturing stakeholders,

• organising pilots with SMEs and facilitating the implementation of AI-based solutions such as predictive maintenance, process optimisation, or digital twin applications.

  With strong experience in SME development, digital transformation and collaboration with universities and public institutions, Eda can contribute to capacity building, dissemination, testing of use cases, and ensuring the data governance, interoperability and business-model aspects are aligned with regional and EU requirements.
