D2.7: Annual Report on Opportunities Workpackage WP2 – IMPACT: Framing the European Data Economy and maximize Impact Editor(s): Sonja Zillner (Siemens AG) Responsible Partner: Siemens AG Contributors Sonja Zillner, Ingra Marangoni (Siemens AG) Internal Reviewer Nuria de Lama, ATOS Andreas Metzger, UDE Status-Version: V1.0 for submission Due to 31/3/2020 Submission Date: 31/3/2020 EC Distribution: Public Abstract: To stimulate and foster the growth of the European data economy, the continuous identification of data-driven opportunities is a critical task. In this deliverable we introduce the design and outcome of the Data-driven Innovation (DDI) Framework including empirical data and findings derived from a complementary research study. We present statistical findings as well as findings related to the success patterns of data-driven innovation opportunities. Those findings are enhanced by the detailed description of successful start-ups of each success cluster as well as by an analysis of the progression of data- driven start-ups in the past years. Finally, the evaluation of the DDI Framework in classroom and workshop settings is summarized. This is the third version of a series of This document is issued within the frame and for the purpose of the BDVE project. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme (H2020-ICT-2016-2017) under Grant Agreement No. 732630 D2.7: Annual Report on Opportunities documents. In this report we have been able to present findings derived from the percentage-frequency analysis, the methodology and findings of the success pattern analysis, a more detailed representation of success data- driven start-ups, a reflections of how our sample changed over time as well as the ongoing evaluation of our workshops. 2 D2.7: Annual Report on Opportunities Table of Contents EXECUTIVE
