Project focus
The challenge
Europe has built important cross-border digital building blocks, but public administrations still face extensive repeated work before a compliant, interoperable digital service can be discovered, acquired and put into use. The gap is not only technical; it spans governance, trust, financing, procurement and interoperability.
What the project does
Pilot 4 does not build a market-ready marketplace. It develops a Blueprint describing what would be required organisationally, legally, technically and financially. The team validates critical assumptions through research, stakeholder engagement, governance modelling and targeted prototypes.
Key workstreams
User-centred alignment between public needs, procurement and delivery.
Trust and accreditation models for verified digital services.
Structured cross-border reuse of services across legal, technical, semantic and organisational boundaries.
Governance models for a federated European ecosystem.
Economic sustainability and long-term infrastructure financing.
Integration of interoperability standards and public digital infrastructure.
BJØRK in the project
Our role
The Thingwalla framework developed by Äventyret and BJØRK before the pilot was procured as the conceptual and technical starting point. BJØRK contributes systems thinking, public-sector innovation, stakeholder engagement and the connection between marketplace governance and real implementation needs.
Partners & context
Working together
The pilot is coordinated by Bron Innovation. The partner constellation includes European public digitalisation and interoperability actors such as Digdir and GRNET.
