Much like a hammer sees every problem as a nail, data experts tend to see opportunity in every single data field. Collaboration on data is still one of the best ways to bring data to life and build business value on top of it.

Sharing data across organizations is one of the most powerful ways to spark innovation. But when data needs to stay private, sovereign, and secure—from competitors, unauthorized users, or cyber threats—the challenge multiplies.

Enter Roseman Labs: a deep-tech startup turning heads with its encrypted data collaboration platform. Built for speed, usability, and zero trust, and endorsed by the Dutch National Cyber Security Centre, they bring quite some credentials to the data & AI table, backed up by no less than 8 cryptography PhDs in their team, all focused on making secure data collaboration not just possible, but practical.

In this episode of Data-powered Innovation Jam, hosts Weiwei, Robert, and Ron are joined by Ian Wachter, Senior Commercial Advisor at Roseman Labs and an advisory board member of several other startups, to unpack how secure collaboration is reshaping the data landscape. From platform design to real-world use cases, they explore what’s next for organizations that need to collaborate—without compromise.

And because no innovation jam is complete without a big-picture take, the exec perspective is on the table too.

All of this, and more, in our brand-new podcast episode named “You Can’t Touch This (Data)”. Tune in, if only to find out why MC Hammer is an Internet mogul and an early adapter of social media.
