Digital Europe Programme Big Data Test Infrastructure Initiative (BDTI)

Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI) is an initiative funded by the Digital Europe Programme (DEP) that aims to foster data literacy and data-informed decision-making in the European public sector. Our team offers powerful solutions for national, regional, and local public administrations looking to leverage data for more informed decisions. 

What is the Big Data Test Infrastructure? 

BDTI provides a secure, cloud-based environment with cutting-edge open-source data storage, analysis, and visualisation tools. For a six-month pilot project, it is free to all public administrations in Europe. 

 By offering a secure, scalable, and user-friendly platform, BDTI empowers public administrations to harness the power of data effectively. This infrastructure supports a wide range of applications, from improving public services and policymaking to optimising operational efficiency and fostering innovation. The potential benefits of BDTI can be a source of excitement and motivation for the audience to utilise it. 

Furthermore, BDTI promotes data sharing and collaboration across different levels of government, fostering a more integrated and cooperative approach to public administration. 

Empowering a Data-Driven Public Sector 

Discover how you would benefit from learning how BDTI could enhance their projects related to zero-emission, considering that BDTI has already been successfully utilised by several public administrations across Europe, as highlighted in the success stories section on the initiative’s website.

Alignment with Key EU Policies  

Importantly, BDTI aligns with several key European legislative frameworks and initiatives. By ensuring data availability and accessibility, BDTI supports the objectives of the Data Act in enhancing data usage across the EU. It facilitates interoperability between public administration systems, enabling seamless data exchange and collaboration, which is in line with the Interoperability Act. Additionally, BDTI aligns with the European Data Strategy’s goals of creating a single market for data and promoting data-driven innovation. By providing tools and frameworks, BDTI helps ensure that AI deployments in public research comply with EU standards for transparency, accountability, and reliability as declared in the AI Act.
