Session description

Data is the oxygen of the digital economy. It has enabled new business models and is fundamentally changing economic dynamics. According to McKinsey for example, the impact of international data flows on economic growth is with $2.8 trillion now larger than traditional flows in traded goods[1]. If favourable policy and legislative conditions are put in place and investments in ICT are encouraged, the value of the European data economy may increase to €739 billion by 2020, representing 4% of the overall EU GDP[2]. In this session we will discuss the value of data and how organizations across Europe are trying to capture it. We will discuss the role of cross-border data transfers and the impact of the data economy on small as well as large businesses. We will also look at what is being done to improve the data economy and what policies and regulations still need to be changed to ensure sustainable growth in a data-driven world.
