Smart Data Group UK

Smart  Data Group UK (SDG UK) works with participants to design, implement,  and operate commercially viable smart data schemes, providing a  coordinated delivery model that enables industry to move at pace and  scale.

By  bringing together data holders, third-party providers, service  providers, regulators, policymakers, and innovators, SDG UK ensures that  smart data schemes are designed around real-world use cases and  delivered with the infrastructure, standards, and governance required to  succeed.

Our Work

SDG UK scopes, designs and delivers commercial smart data schemes,  providing the services and capabilities required to take schemes from  concept through to live operation.


This includes:

  • Developing commercially viable use cases and commercial models
  • Designing and maintaining standards, rules, APIs, and trust frameworks
  • Providing operator-as-a-service capabilities, enabling schemes to be delivered without each participant building their own infrastructure
  • Establishing and supporting infrastructure API hubs, including directory and onboarding services
  • Delivering monitoring, performance, and scheme oversight to ensure reliability and outcomes
  • Enabling value-added and optional services such as:
    • Consent-as-a-Service
    • Digital identity and verification
    • Data orchestration and interoperability layers


SDG UK ensures that schemes are not only designed effectively, but are also  operationally viable, scalable, and aligned with both market needs and  regulatory expectations.

We accelerate the UK’s smart data economy by:

  • Convening participants to design sector-specific and cross-sector smart data schemes
  • Designing and delivering schemes through a shared services and operator model
  • Developing standards, trust frameworks, and governance models through collaborative working groups
  • Providing infrastructure and operational capabilities to bring schemes to market
  • Monitoring performance and ensuring schemes deliver intended outcomes
  • Supporting alignment with government and regulators, existing initiatives, and emerging regulatory frameworks
  • Hosting industry engagement, developing and sharing best practice, and enabling collaboration to drive adoption

Our Approach

At  SDG UK, we work with participants to design and deliver practical,  scalable solutions that can be implemented in real-world environments.


Our approach combines:

  • Industry collaboration - bringing together the right participants to design viable schemes
  • Operator-as-a-service delivery - reducing cost, complexity, and duplication
  • Shared infrastructure - enabling interoperability and faster deployment
  • Commercial sustainability - ensuring schemes deliver value for all participants


We  focus on delivery, not just design, enabling participants to move from  concept to live schemes quickly, efficiently, and with confidence.
