Speeches di Roberto Viola
Keynote Speech
The EU needs to be able to re-use different types of data for a thriving and innovative data economy. Data is already behind numerous European innovations which can be discovered on an on-line tool, The Innovation Radar. Data is also a powerful tool in the fight against disinformation. Creating a Common European Data Space a seamless digital area with a scale allowing the development of even more innovative products and EU-wide services, while fully protecting personal data and privacy will allow the EU to fully reap the benefits of data. In this Common European Data Space, different types of data will flow freely across borders and there will be a higher supply of high-quality data for re-use from different sources, both public and private. Together with adequate levels of investment, including under the future Digital Europe programme, this will create the basis for further development of Big Data analytics and AI-powered solutions, which in turn will drive growth and establish Europe as one of the global leaders in data-driven innovation.
