Taking advantage of their presence in Madrid for the 2026 Data Spaces Symposium, some of the Gaia-X Hubs took the opportunity to hold their first face-to-face meeting of 2026. At this meeting, they discussed ways to better carry out their joint work and the most pressing needs within Gaia-X AISBL. Of particular note was the presence of representatives linked to the Japanese Hub. 

Following the Gaia-X Summit 2025 in Porto, with the collaboration of Gaia-X Hub Portugal, the Austrian Hub was particularly welcomed by the upcoming Summit 2026 in Vienna at the end of this year, on a date very soon to be finalised.
