Modern data marketplaces are transforming how data assets are shared, traded, and utilized. Recent European initiatives have made significant strides, particularly in enhancing data monetization, regulatory compliance, and secure data exchange. However, existing centralized marketplaces face challenges that limit broader participation and accessibility. Notable limitations include complex data discovery processes, limited transparency in value-based data monetization, and insufficient integration of trusted, energy-efficient analytics. Addressing these gaps can unlock new data-driven applications in sectors like finance, retail, and smart cities, empowering innovative services that seamlessly integrate financial data. That is where FAME comes in.

FAME is on a mission to create a transformative platform and ecosystem to serve as a federated marketplace reference for the financial sector, closely aligned with the EU Data Strategy. As an EU-funded initiative, FAME combines technical, business, and legal frameworks to establish a unique, open, and publicly accessible federated data marketplace and platform for Embedded Finance (EmFi). The project adheres to emerging European data strategies, ensuring a solution that is secure, energy-efficient, and interoperable, while supporting transparent, programmable trading and pricing for data assets.
