Overview
Most of Europe’s SMEs lag behind in data-driven innovation. To tackle this problem, the EU-funded EUHubs4Data project will build a European federation of Data Innovation Hubs based on existing key players in this area – connecting with data incubators and platforms, SME networks, AI communities, skills and training organisations and open-data repositories. A European catalogue of data sources and federated data-driven services and solutions will be made accessible to European SMEs, start-ups and web entrepreneurs through the Data Innovation Hubs. Cross‐border and cross-sector data-driven experimentation will be facilitated through data-sharing, as well as data- and service‐interoperability. This becomes a reference instrument for growth in a global data economy and contributes to the creation of common European data spaces.
Our Goal
Establish a federation of Data Innovation Hubs across Europe to support SMEs and start-ups in data-driven innovation. Provide a catalogue (of datasets, services, solutions) that enables businesses to access data and services for experimentation and innovation. Promote cross-border, cross-sector experimentation, data-sharing and interoperability of data & services. Facilitate the creation of common European data spaces by enabling reuse of data and fostering innovation ecosystems.
