The event was organized by the Fachverband Metalltechnische Industrie and the Associaten Plattform Industrie 4.0  as well as the Digital Transition Working Group of Orgalim for its members and aimed to offer an insight into the Data Act: from the legislative point of view to the technical implementation in the industry.

Wendehorst gave a keynote on the topic of "The Future Data Act".

Together with Neil B. Cohen, she has written the "ALI-ELI Principles for a Data Economy", which contain a set of principles that can be implemented in any type of legal environment and lay down regulatory options to regulate fair data transactions. The concept of data rights in co-generated data has been originally developed by Wendehorst and influenced for example the work of the Global Partnership on AI, the European Commission and the German Federal Government’s Data Ethic Commission.

Amongst others Christiane Wendehorst is a member of the European Expert Group on B2B Data Sharing and Cloud Computing for the European Commission. Within the framework of this Expert Group, Wendehorst has worked on developing contractual clauses for the relationship between a data holder and a third-party data recipient.
