BDVA/DAIRO

Bid Data Value Association

BDVA (from 2021 onwards DAIRO; Data, AI and Robotics aisbl) focuses on enabling the digital transformation of economy and society through data and artificial intelligence.

BDVA/DAIRO’s mission is to develop an innovation ecosystem, which enables a data and AI-driven digital transformation that delivers maximum economic and societal benefits to European societies. Simultaneously, it helps Europe to achieve and sustain a leadership position in big data value creation and artificial intelligence. It facilitates existing regional multi-partner cooperation to collaborate at a European level through provision of tools and know-how. It also supports co-creation, development and experimentation of pan-European data-driven applications and services.

BDVA/DAIRO has led advances in areas such as big data and AI technologies and services, data platforms and data spaces, industrial AI, data-driven value creation, standardisation, and skills. It has been the private side of the H2020 partnership Big Data Value cPPP. It is a private member of the EuroHPC JU, and is also one of the founding members of the AI, Data and Robotics Partnership (ADRA).

CSC has been a member of BDVA/DAIRO since 2016. We joined BDVA to build better connections towards the industrial big data community in Europe and to scout possibilities for joining EU funding proposals under the ICT pillar.
