Building Europe’s data ecosystem: How Simpl supports seamless data
exchange
Simpl [https://simpl-programme.ec.europa.eu/] is a middleware platform
designed to make data sharing across Europe easier, safer, and more
efficient. As an intermediate layer, it helps organisations exchange
information across multiple data spaces while ensuring that the
original data owners remain in full control. By using Simpl, data
providers and users can share and access information seamlessly,
supporting the growth of Europe’s digital ecosystem.

Currently, Simpl is actively focused on enabling seamless, secure data
sharing across European sectors. The project promotes interoperability
through common data standards and open-source components, empowering
organisations to build data chains whilst retaining ownership and
control at the source. This approach ensures data remains accurate, up
to date, and protected to support a future-proof European data
ecosystem.

Open data plays a role in Simpl’s mission by supporting transparent,
reusable, standards‑aligned infrastructure for Europe’s data
ecosystem. Combined with open components, this helps reduce technical
barriers, boost innovation and enable organisations across sectors to
benefit from interoperable data-sharing solutions.
