The Data Economy

Data has evolved to become the lifeblood of global trade. Data connects almost every aspect of modern life, and the commercial value and opportunities attributed to data have increased dramatically in ways that were not previously possible. Analytics and AI technologies, coupled with exponential growth of computational power, are allowing unprecedented amounts of data to be collected, analysed and used by businesses and public sector organisations. As the uses of data advance, organisations are increasingly able to predict and respond to behaviours, enable and harness emerging technologies and help shape tomorrow's future.

Faced with this exponential rise of data as an asset, in this hub we explore the opportunities and challenges of realising and maximising the value in data, the emergence of data regulation, management of the legal, commercial and strategic risks in data, and the potential for data-driven business transformations.
