ABOUT DATA WEEK 2023
Data Week 2023 is the spring gathering of the European Big Data and Data-Driven AI research and innovation communities. During the event, the participants share knowledge and results, discuss topics of common interest, find synergies, build new collaborations, and identify new challenges and recommendations.
Data Week links the communities and their results to European policies and market needs and brings European initiatives and activities closer to local communities. Data Week 2023 is co-organised by BDVA and EUHubs4Data project in collaboration with the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE). Data Week is the combination of local and regional events organised by the BDVA i-Spaces [i-Spaces] in the framework of the EUHubs4Data project and the main European event. This Data Week’s edition will take place physically at Luleå, Sweden, between 13 – 15 June 2023 with the central theme “Data Meets Infrastructure at the Edge (in Luleå)!”
ORGANISED BY
The Big Data Value Association-BDVA is an industry-driven organisation with a mission to develop an innovation ecosystem that enables the data-driven digital transformation of the economy and society in Europe. BDVA has over 240 members all over Europe and a well-balanced composition of large, small, and medium-sized industries, as well as research and user organisations. We focus on advancing areas such as big data technologies and services, data platforms and data spaces industrial AI, data-driven value creation, standardisation, and skills. In the BDVA Task Forces, our members contribute to the European data, and AI R&I agenda and develop guidelines and strategic roadmaps for industry and policymakers. Our events give opportunities to build collaborations and co-create projects. Through the BDVA community, the members gain higher visibility on the European level. Our services are designed to give timely updates on the latest developments in the fields of data and AI.
The EU-funded project EUHubs4Data has established a federation of more than 30 Data-Driven Innovation Hubs working collaboratively to facilitate cross-border and cross-sector data-driven experimentation through data sharing and joint services delivery. EUHubs4Data represents a potent instrument for boosting the data economy in Europe for different stakeholders. EUHubs4Data federates infrastructures for data experimentation by creating a pan-European catalog of data services and data sources, totally aligned with the European principles included in the European Data Strategy and the Digital Decade. Thus, EUHubs4Data is the lighthouse showing how concepts about data sovereignty, data marketplaces, and data service composition, can work. Moreover, in EUHubs4Data, European SMEs, startups, and web entrepreneurs can benefit from a European catalog of data sources and federated data-driven services and solutions through the Data Innovation Hubs.
