New EU Regulations Unlock High-Value Datasets to Boost AI and Data-Driven Innovation

These 'high-value datasets' cover six thematic areas specified in the Open Data Directive: geospatial, earth observation and environment, meteorological, statistics, companies, and mobility. The new regulations have the potential to yield significant societal and economic benefits by driving the creation of innovative products and services, such as artificial intelligence applications.
