SAFE & SECURE

GENERAL AGREEMENT: SAFE and SECURE COLLABORATION

In the DMI ecosystem, being able to share and reuse data securely, transparently and at scale is a key pillar. With our PDX, we set the standard for safe and trusted data sharing, bringing together governance and technology. All new DMI-members agree to the DMI General Agreement. Its content defines our unique collaboration. 

The General Agreement was developed in close cooperation with all DMI-participants. As such, it forms the basis for our collaboration within the ecosystem.

Data sharing isn't just a technical challenge. It's about trust, governance and collaboration. Our Dutch approach shows that when these elements come together, cities can innovate faster and make better decisions.
