The EU Data Act is no longer an abstract policy discussion. The regulation has applied since 12 September 2025, and the Article 3(1) product-design obligation applies to connected products and related services placed on the market after 12 September 2026. For many organisations, the question has therefore shifted from “What does the regulation say?” to “How do we implement it in a way that works across products, data, contracts, technology and business processes?”
On Thursday, 3 September 2026 at 15:00 CEST, Nemko Digital will host a live webinar for leaders responsible for connected products and related services. EU Data Act 2026: From Compliance Requirements to Implementation will explore the decisions that make the difference between a requirement inventory and an operating model.
Article 3(1) of the Data Act concerns the way connected products and related services are designed and provided. It specifies that relevant product and related-service data, including metadata necessary to interpret and use the data, should be accessible by default in a comprehensive, structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; direct accessibility applies where relevant and technically feasible. Those words have practical consequences for product architecture, data mapping, interfaces, user journeys, governance, contracts and support processes.
The webinar will be led by Mónica Fernández Peñalver, AI Governance Lead, and Bas Overtoom, Global Business Development Director, at Nemko Digital. They will share practical implementation lessons, recurring challenges and ways teams can avoid rebuilding the same framework for every product or service.
The session is designed for product leaders, data and enterprise architects, engineering and service leaders, legal and compliance professionals, privacy and security leaders, and commercial or aftermarket executives. It is educational and does not constitute legal advice.
