Commission Européenne - European Cloud Initiative to give Europe a global lead in the data-driven economy
The European Cloud Initiative will make it easier for researchers and innovators to access and re-use data, and will reduce the cost of data storage and high-performance analysis. Making research data openly available can help boost Europe's competitiveness by benefitting start-ups, SMEs and data-driven innovation, including in the fields of medicine and public health. It can even spur new industries, as
demonstrated by the Human Genome Project.
