The European Data Market (EDM) Monitoring Tool has been tracking the progression of the European Data Economy since 2013. This tool provides valuable insights and quantitative data on its industry and regional dissemination, significantly influencing European policy strategies in this domain.
EDM's monitoring and analysis efforts recognised big data's disruptive potential and highlighted the socio-economic importance of innovative data-driven transformative processes. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence tools and services powered by data also underlines the crucial role of data. The introduction of Common European Data Spaces advocated by the Commission has added further momentum to the European data economy.
The primary objective of the European Data Market Study 2024-2026 is to update and enhance the EDM Monitoring Tool, continuing to deliver the market intelligence, factual evidence, and insights on future developments necessary to support European policies in this domain over the next three years. The study is carried out through three interrelated streams of work focused on collecting and delivering factual evidence, data, and qualitative insights. Together, these efforts will contribute to the overarching goal of providing insights on progress towards policy targets.
