OBJECTIVES
To take a leading position on Data Economy, Europe is placing focus on breaking “data silos”, and accessing, sharing and reusing data, still ensuring that this happens in a secured and trusted manner. For that, the European Commission is supporting pilot projects and innovation spaces to allow experimentation on cross-sector multi-stakeholder data innovation.
REACH integrates 3 DIHs and 9 public/ private data-providers and 2 private investor brokers. It aims to generate 10M€ volume investment for SMEs creating 15 data value-chains delivering fit-to-market products.
SOLUTIONS
Idea75 contributes as data provider with a big dataset based on industrial production performance and three challenges addressing the topics of monitoring, predictive maintenance and energy efficiency.
REACH supports the generation of new data-fuelled products & services by offering a full-service pack consisted of: tech-training and experts, datasets, technological bricks for secure and trusted data value chains, computing infrastructures, business development training & coaches and up to €120k equity-free funding.

The Reach project offers many instruments to EU SMEs:
- cascade equity-free funding for organizations to finance their innovations;
- a range of Data Providers coming from different sectors offering their data and corporate challenges for experimentation;
