Strategic objectives

I. EU leadership in Big Data technologies
through increased investments
II. Create a data market
III. Create a thriving data economy – engine
for growth and jobs
6. Big Data Value PPP - characteristics
Industry-driven – because it needs to mobilise and
transform (both IT and user) industries in order to break a
new path to growth and jobs
Broad and horizontal – because data challenges appear
in most industrial and societal domains – need to achieve
synergies and create links with user industries, other PPPs,
Societal Challenges, national and regional initiatives

7. Earth Observation data
EO data has large re-use potential...
E.g. big climate data, atmospheric data can be used for better weather
predictions, vital for smart farming (SC2)
EO data can be used for optimising renewable energy production (wind
predictions, wave energy predictions)
... but still remains under-used
Data from COPERNICUS and other publicly funded EO schemes is often
"too big" to be easily re-used
Commonalities SC5 and Big Data?
EO data/climate data is Big Data
H2020 SC5 Work Programme 2016-17 does not address any specific
Big Data challenges (the same way as SC1, SC6 and SC7 do).
