    Towards a thriving data-driven economy
    In July 2014, the Commission outlined a new strategy on Big Data, supporting and accelerating the transition towards a data-driven economy in Europe. The data-driven economy will stimulate research and innovation on data while leading to more business opportunities and an increased availability of knowledge and capital, in particular for SMEs, across Europe.


    According to the study "Worldwide Big Data Technology and Services, 2012–2015 Forecast" conducted by IDC, big data technology and services are expected to grow worldwide at a compound annual growth rate of 40% – about seven times that of the ICT market overall.

    Another recent study on "Big Data Analytics: An assessment of demand for labour and skills, 2012-2017", conducted by e-skills uk and SAS, predicts that in the UK alone, the number of big data staff specialist working in large firms will increase by more than 240% over the next five years.

    Hey, thanks for posting this. Some great work going on that doesn't get time on the airwaves.

    Do you know if Big Data professionals can volunteer on these types of projects?
