Community/Ecosystem

This Task Force focuses on activities related to enlarging, strengthening and diversifying the BDVA community and thereby the breadth of activities involving BDVA members and collaboration partners.The current BDVA community is deeply involved in complex, collaborative activities with the single purpose of identifying and responding to the latest challenges that Europe faces in relevant topic areas (both societal and technological). By successfully building the ecosystem beyond its current size and scope, the profile and output of the BDVA will remain relevant, credible, influential and fully endorsed by its group of stakeholders.

Furthermore, this TF is committed to the outcomes regarding the engagement of SMEs and startups. Its scope includes the production of content on the EU data market for SMEs, both on the demand and supply sides, as input to the different stakeholders. It also engages with investors interested in EU data-driven start-ups, in a coordinated manner (e.g. establishing a dedicated working group and organizing sessions at events) to create awareness and provide assistance to help on deal flows.
