How collaboration turns into innovation: Highlights from the SDMX Global Conference 2025

In our latest newsletter we look back at the SDMX Global Conference 2025 in Rome, where more than 500 experts explored how SDMX is making official statistics AI-ready by design. From high-level discussions to hands-on capacity building, we highlight the concrete next steps agreed with partners to advance governance, interoperability, and smarter data use across the SDMX community.

We also zoom in on the SDMX Communities session, which showed how collaboration turns ideas into production-ready solutions. Featuring OECD’s SIS-CC‘s multi-tier and open source model, BIS’s sdmx.io, AfDB’s Africa Information Highway, and Eurostat’s work with the ESS. The recap distils how open tooling, coordinated frameworks and shared platforms are accelerating SDMX+AI innovation.

Finally, we share the latest on the .Stat Suite .NET “jackfruit” release, bringing faster SDMX structure management, better filtering and greater reliability, as well as new learning paths on .Stat Academy, which now counts 1 431 certified learners worldwide.
