Data is transforming most sectors and organizations, but within each sector and each organization, this evolution is happening at a different speed, for different purposes, and with different constraints, including regulatory constraints. Policies are evolving to foster value generation and responsible data use and re-use, including new EU policies such as the Data Governance Act and the Data Act. New applications and secondary uses of data, in the meantime, are showing the potential of data and the societal benefits that can we can unlock.

The digital transformation promises novel opportunities for positive social change while foreshadowing unprecedented challenges and risks. Far from being a purely technical process, the digital transformation is a historical evolution that touches all aspects of our lives and calls for a deep reflection on our institutions' role to ensure the best and most equitable outcomes.

Data lie at the core of this transformation. Data affords new ways of measuring, understanding, and predicting our world and enables a new wave of decision-making and policy-making applications based on Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. These new capabilities are promising and potentially disruptive. Hence, they need to be closely monitored and governed in their impact on our society. Industries, public agencies, non-governmental organizations, and funders are all grappling with the opportunities of using Data and data-driven capabilities for their respective missions and the challenge of creating the new cross-sectoral collaborations needed to unlock the public value of Data.
