Simpl-Open Roadmap Update May 2025

The Simpl-Open development roadmap is an indicative planning of the current priorities for Simpl-Open development. These priorities are the result of careful assessment of data spaces (and data initiatives) needs ensuring that the Simpl-Open development aligns with real-world challenges and opportunities. They are subject to change, depending on the input and feedback from the data sharing community, learnings from the Simpl-Live feasibility studies and other relevant developments.
