1 AISBL Big Data Value Association and the European Agenda on Big Data Pisa, Friday 12th december 2014 Donato Malerba, UniBA & CINI Member of the BDVA Board of Directors

2 Commission urges governments to embrace potential of Big Data Data collection and exploitation is a growing phenomenon. In response to industry and fundamental demands the European Commission has called on national governments to wake-up to this big data revolution. Neelie Kroes (European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda) It s about time we focus on the positive aspects of big data. Big data sounds negative and scary, and for the most part it isn t. Leaders need to embrace big data. 2 nd July 2014

3 Commission urges governments to embrace potential of Big Data "Data is not scary, or intrusive. With the right legal protection and anonymisation tools data is the fuel which lays the foundation of a new economy. Giving every kind of organisation the building blocks to boost productivity it and performance, from farm to factory, from the lab to the shop floor, that's what Europe needs. The main problems identified in public consultations on big data are: Lack of cross-border coordination Insufficient infrastructure and funding opportunities A shortage of data experts and related skills Fragmented and overly complex legal environment

4 Main concrete actions proposed today to solve these problems ABi Big Data public-private i partnership that t funds gamechanging big data ideas, in areas such as personalised medicine and food logistics. Create an open data incubator (within the Horizon 2020 framework), to help SMEs set up supply chains based on data and use cloud computing more. Propose new rules on "data ownership" and liability of data provision for data gathered via Internet of Things (Machine to Machine communication) Mapping of data standards, identifying potential gaps Establish a series of Supercomputing Centres of Excellence to increase number of skilled data workers in Europe Create network of data processing facilities in different Member States

5 Private-Public Partnership: Why To solve problems together with industry To strengthen industrial European leadership To strongly commit industry to joint objectives To facilitate prioritisation of R&I in line with the Europe 2020 objectives and industry needs Two types of PPPs o Contractual PPPs (cppps) o Joint Technology Initiatives

6 Contractual Private-Public Partnerships (cppps) Implement industry-defined strategic research and innovation agendas through co-funded projects selected through H2020 calls for proposals Budget is only committed on an annual basis in Work Programs (WPs) Calls are prepared on the basis of an industry-developed multi-annual roadmap Commitments t over a seven year period for both EU and the industrial partners o EU investments o Industrial partners should leverage the direct EU investments generating additional investments (private investments 3 to 10 times the level of public investments)

7 Contractual Private-Public Partnerships (cppps) Take the form of contractual arrangements between the European Commission and representative industrial associations. Address strategic t technologies that t will underpin growth and jobs in key sectors of a knowledge-based European economy and also target important societal challenges. Four cppps started and proved successful under FP7 o Factories of the Future (FoF), to support the manufacturing industry through the development of sustainable production technologies and systems o Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB), to increase the competitiveness and energy e efficiency e cy of the construction o industry o European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI), to develop a competitive and resource efficient transport system with significantly less CO2 emissions o Future Internet

8 Contractual Private-Public Partnerships (cppps) The Commission has committed under H2020 to cppps in eight areas: Factories of the Future (FoF) Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB), European Green Vehicles Initiative (EGVI), Sustainable Process Industry (SPIRE) to make the process industry more resource- and energy-efficient Advanced 5G network infrastructure for the Future Internet (5G), to stimulate the development of network internet infrastructure to ensure advanced ICT services for all sectors and users High Performance Computing (HPC), which plays a pivotal role in stimulating Europe s economic growth and advancing European science Robotics, a key driver of industrial competitiveness and essential to address key societal challenges in areas such as demographic change, health and well-being, food production, transport and security Photonics, one of the key enabling technologies for our future prosperity and an essential element of many sectors, from energy efficient lighting and health, to optical data communication, laser based manufacturing and sensing for safety and security

20 Lighthouse projects a mechanism for large-scale demos and awareness Lighthouse Projects Help raise awareness about the opportunities offered by Big Data and the value of data-driven applications for different sectors. the major mechanism for Europe to demonstrate Big Data Value ecosystems and sustainable data marketplaces They will be data-driven large-scale projects serving as incubators for whole data-driven ecosystems. Propose replicable solutions by using existing technologies or very near to market technologies that could be integrated in an innovative way and show evidence of data value Create high level impact and broadcast visibility and awareness driving towards faster uptake of Big Data Value applications and solutions

21 Lighthouse projects a mechanism for large-scale demos and awareness Innovation-oriented tools that can capitalize on research activities Designed to raise awareness and visibility Key features: Impact and replicability. Data-driven innovation (so, data availability assumed) Focus on a sector or a theme; cross-fertilization expected No pre-defined sectors; however guidance is provided on the conditions they should fulfill (ex. data analysis seems ddifcult if data is not digitized) Stakeholders: all players needed to go to market
