What is BDTI?

The Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI) is a ready-to-use and free of charge (for a period of six months) analytics cloud stack offered by the European Commission as part of the Digital Europe Programme, to all local, regional and national European public administrations. The BDTI allows its users to experiment with open-source technologies and foster the re-use of all public sector data and information. Overall, BDTI's goal is to contribute to the development of a data-informed public sector.

Why use BDTI?

Since January 2023, the European Commission has published a list of high-value datasets that public sector bodies will have to make available for re-use, free of charge, within 16 months. From geospatial data, passing by meteorological and mobility data, the BDTI is a great data playground to experiment with high-value datasets using data analytics tools without wasting time on installation and configurations. Benefit of a high-performance infrastructure and have access to advisory and technical support for six months!

Who has already used BDTI ?

The BDTI has already helped public sector entities to:

• Optimise public procurement procedures in Norway
• Derive insights about mobility to redesign services in Italy
• Support clinicians by extracting knowledge from articles in Spain
• Help the European Blood Alliance to investigate therapy efficiency for COVID-19

If you are a public sector entity looking for a data playground, your organisation could be next!
