This document outlines Austria's strategy for conquering data through research and technology initiatives (RTI). It discusses: 1) The role of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) in funding RTI, including a €450M annual budget and focus areas like ICT, production, energy and mobility. 2) Studies conducted on topics like the technology roadmap for conquering data through intelligent systems. 3) Actions already taken and planned, including developing lead technologies for data integration and fusion, increasing algorithm efficiency, and establishing a data-services ecosystem in Austria. 4) The need for coordination across stakeholders, developing the necessary legal framework, and ensuring resources and competencies

23. Chances – „Wave 4“
- New opportunities exist (COM)
• in a number of sectors where
application of these methods is still in its infancy and global dominant
players have not yet emerged
• Domains:
smart production,
earth observation,
smart city/smart home
Agriculture
- Working data-service-ecosystem
• Win-Win-Situation for all stakeholders (public sector, LE, SME, Start Ups,
Researchers, Entrepreneurs, civils,…),
• To make services and data accesable and interopberable

30. Elements of Data - Service - Ecosystem
- Data Application Incubator
- Basic infrastructure for data driven economy (Cloud , HPC, 5G,…)
- Lighthouse initiatives for important economic sectors (e.g. energy, manufacturing)
- Data Curation
- Preconditions:
• make sure that the relevant legal framework and the policies, such as on
interoperability, data protection, security and IPR are data-friendly
• Development of skills (multidisciplinary teams with highly skilled specialists),…
