PRESS RELEASE
Dawex and Heva Unite Expertise to Accelerate the Deployment of Data Spaces in the Healthcare Sector in Europe
A collaboration combining technological leadership in data exchange and expertise in healthcare data valorization.
SantExpo, Paris, France – May 21, 2026 – Dawex, the leader in data exchange solutions, and Heva, a subsidiary of Docaposte specializing in healthcare data exploitation and valorization, today announced their collaboration to accelerate the deployment of data spaces within the healthcare sector across Europe. This collaboration embraces the structuring dynamic marked by the deployment of the European Health Data Space (EHDS), as well as the rise of ecosystem-based data exchange architectures, which have become essential to support innovation in health.
In this context, the implementation of secure and trusted data spaces, compliant with health data regulations, stands as a strategic lever. These environments enable a diversity of stakeholders such as healthcare industrials, pharmaceutical laboratories, medtech companies, AI players, public bodies and care institutions, to exchange sensitive data while maintaining a high level of security, traceability and sovereignty. The establishment of data spaces in healthcare thus addresses the sector's major challenge: facilitating data exchange among multiple stakeholders, breaking down silos around still heavily fragmented information, ensuring the access control to data by their holders and strengthening trust in data exchanges.
This collaboration gathers two recognized and complementary areas of expertise with the technological leadership in data exchange and the in-depth knowledge of healthcare data usage and valorization..
Dawex brings its technological, business, and regulatory expertise to create and govern secure and trusted data spaces, compliant with data regulations and relying on European standards, such as the Gaia-X de facto standard and the Trusted Data Transactions harmonized European standard. Dawex solutions thus create the technical, contractual, economic and regulatory compliance conditions required for health data transactions to occur with trust.
Heva has been supporting healthcare system stakeholders for over 20 years in the analysis and strategic exploitation of real-world data. As part of this collaboration, Heva brings its expertise and experience in the design and exploitation of secure data platforms, in synergy with Dawex technologies, to address the emerging challenges of the healthcare industry.
"Europe is laying the foundations for a sovereign data economy, and healthcare is one of its strategic pillars. The momentum of the EHDS illustrates how data spaces are becoming critical infrastructures to accelerate innovation and federate entire ecosystems," stated Fabrice Tocco, Co-CEO of Dawex. "It is precisely to meet these challenges that Dawex and Heva Data are joining forces, providing healthcare stakeholders with a concrete solution that combines security, traceability, and compliance. This triad is essential to unlocking the potential of health data thanks to trusted data exchange."
"The rise of health data spaces opens up major opportunities to facilitate the exchange and exploitation of data in support of research, the improvement of care pathways and the transformation of the healthcare system," explains Cécile Badiola, CEO of Heva. "The alliance between Heva and Dawex, a French player of data exchange solutions recognized in sensitive sectors, aims to address the accelerating needs in the health sector in terms of sovereignty, traceability and security of data exchanges."
