On 6 February, the DATAMITE project hosted the DATAMITE Meet Up event at the OTE headquarters in Athens, Greece, under the theme ‘Bridging Research and Industry in EU-funded Innovation’.

Bringing together Europe’s leading innovators, researchers, policy makers and industry leaders to foster collaboration, accelerate data-driven progress and create a unified strategy for Europe’s digital future, the event was a unique networking opportunity bringing together researchers and industry professionals involved in EU-funded projects. 

The day was divided into five panel discussions where participants explored cutting-edge research, shared insights and discussed needs, concerns and solutions in critical areas such as data ethics, privacy, cybersecurity, AI, IoT and sustainable innovation. The event was livestreamed. If you missed it, you can watch it on our YouTube channel. Do not miss it!

The five panels were:

  • Creating Value in Data Marketplaces: The role of Data Spaces. Opportunities & Risks: Explore the growing popularity of data marketplaces, where organisations buy and sell data, and the potential value and risks involved.
  • Data Exploitation in the Health Sector: How healthcare organisations can benefit or even generate revenue from data assets, including best practices, risks and innovative business models.
  • Data Monetization Strategies & the Value of Data as an Asset: How organisations can generate revenue from data assets, including best practices, risks and innovative business models.
  • Data-Driven Transformation Across Industries: Lessons and Innovations in Key Sectors: How data is transforming specific industries such as healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing and transportation, highlighting sector-specific challenges, innovations and best practices in using data to drive growth and efficiency.
  • Privacy and Security in the Age of Data – Finding a Balance through Legal and Ethical Challenges: Deep dive into the inherent tension between data monetisation and user privacy, focusing on ways to balance revenue generation with respect for user rights.

Throughout the event, a team of photographers worked to capture all the moments that made the DATAMITE Meet Up event such a special day. All the photos can be viewed here.
