6. Big Data Value PPP - characteristics
 Industry-driven – because it needs to mobilise and
transform (both IT and user) industries in order to break a
new path to growth and jobs
 Broad and horizontal – because data challenges appear
in most industrial and societal domains – need to achieve
synergies and create links with user industries, other PPPs,
Societal Challenges, national and regional initiatives
