Smart Data - Innovations in Data
A technology programme of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)
In the digital age, data is the resource for creating economic value. It is available in ever increasing amounts: By 2020, the global volume of data is expected to reach 40 zettabytes (10007 bytes). The reasons for this unprecedented growth include the increasing use of digital services such as social media and online streaming as well as the Internet of Things.
With the “Smart Data – Innovations in Data” technology programme, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is making an important contribution to the broad development of this market in Germany. The technology programme follows the objectives of the Digital Germany 2015 ICT strategy, which was developed under the leadership of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, and the forward-looking “Internet-based services for the economy” project within the framework of the federal government’s High-Tech Strategy 2020.
