Joining FASt offers access to FEDMA's advantages, including access to industry expertise, networking opportunities, and resources to navigate the evolving data protection and privacy landscape.

The FASt Bridge Label

The FASt Bridge Label sets a new standard of excellence in privacy, data ethics, and innovation for start-ups in data, AI, and marketing.

By upholding FEDMA’s high ethical standards, the label ensures compliance with rigorous data protection principles while promoting a transparent and ethical digital marketing environment.
