Big Data Initiative

Visit the Big Data Initiative's home page.

The EBU Big Data Initiative supports EBU Members' data and AI-driven strategies. The group brings together EBU Member delegates and EBU permanent services delegates, which are directly involved in carrying out strategic, managerial analytical, technological, legal, content-related or other types of activities related to data usage for their respective organisations.

The Big Data Initiative is a corporate, cross sector and industrial initiative of the EBU. It was launched in July 2015 to help Members leverage the potential of big data, and increasingly of artificial intelligence, in order to remain relevant on a fast evolving competitive market.
