An Alliance Data Sharing Ecosystem for defence and security will be established, where data from Allies, the NATO Enterprise, and Industry and research partners, as appropriate, is shared, labelled, connected and exploited. Data sharing is an imperative for the Alliance that should be pursued through systematic efforts. Sharing interoperable data to achieve Allied objectives shall become the norm and a shared responsibility for Allies and the NATO Enterprise alike. Initiatives to share data with Allied Industry and research partners will be encouraged and strengthened, as appropriate.
