The BIG project aims to promote adoption of big data technologies in Europe. It brings together stakeholders from industry and government to shape big data development. The project will identify sector needs, apply big data solutions, and create roadmaps. It has a budget of 3 million euros over 26 months. BIG works through industry-led forums and technical groups to foster big data use across multiple sectors like health, telecom and manufacturing. The project schedules white papers, requirements documents, and roadmaps to be delivered throughout its timeline.
