European Data Market
Study on behalf of the European Commission DG Connect
The main goal of the study is to measure the European data economy to support the EC’s Data Value Chain policy. The policy created an innovative data ecosystem of stakeholders, enables the development of European data-driven competitiveness, and fosters commercial and social added value derived from intelligent use, management and reuse of data sources in Europe. The study aims to periodically measure and assess the data market in Europe through the European Data Market (EDM) Monitoring Tool, designed and implemented by the IDC-Open Evidence consortium. This is done to deliver factual evidence, data and qualitative insights on the diffusion of data-driven innovation in Europe, assess its actual and potential impacts on growth and jobs, and investigate the framework conditions influencing the development of the European data economy.
The study has three objectives:
- Analysing issues for the development of the data ecosystem, providing data market stories based on factual evidence, case studies and complementary data to the EDM indicators
- Mapping and visualising the stakeholders populating the EU data market
