About DT4REGIONS

 

DT4REGIONS is a European Parliament Preparatory Action supported with European Funds. Its aim is the creation of a European Platform for Regions to enable AI and Big Data collective solutions. It is a unique challenge-based innovation platform for the development of tools and services of public interest. At the same time, its goal is to enhance public administration efficiency and effectiveness in user-centric services. Within this context, public administrations were engaged in defining the platform services and can benefit from dedicated capacity building and mutual learning activities, with a view to exploiting the full potential of the platform itself. Regional innovation ecosystem actors contribute to the identification of the platform functionalities and contents, as well as of the future public services to be developed and delivered on the back of AI and Big Data solutions.
