BDVA is an industry-driven international not-for-profit organisation with over 240 members all over Europe and a well-balanced composition of large, small, and medium-sized industries as well as research and user organizations.
Our mission is to develop an innovation ecosystem that enables the data-driven digital transformation of the economy and society in Europe, delivering maximum benefit. To reach this goal, we focus on advancing areas such as big data technologies and services, data platforms and data spaces, industrial AI, data-driven value creation, standardisation, and skills. BDVA enables existing regional multi-partner cooperation, to collaborate at the European level through the provision of tools and know-how to support the cocreation, development, and experimentation of pan-European data-driven and AI applications and services, and know-how exchange.
Through BDVA, our members contribute to the European data and AI R&I agenda and develop guidelines and strategic roadmaps for industry and policymakers in BDVA Task Forces, and our events give opportunities to build new collaborations and co-create new projects. Being part of the BDVA community, the members gain higher visibility on the European level and our services are designed to give timely updates on all the latest developments in the fields of data and AI.
