Europe's data revolution

The growth potential of the data economy is mind-blowing. In Europe alone, the figures and forecasts are eye-catching, to say the least. The European Commission expects the value of the data economy to rise to €829 billion by 2025, up from €301 billion in 2018. Focusing on the headline economic figures alone overlooks the enormous potential to use data to create lasting social change and improve the personal and professional lives of millions of European citizens. The term digital economy is a catch-all for a wide range of digital transformation activities.
