The Advisory Board of the BDVe project arranged their first face to face meeting during the European Big Data Value Forum 2017, at Inria headquarter, in Versailles.
The agenda of the meeting proposed to review the four pillars of the project (impact, ecosystem, skills and marketing). Members of the board provided useful insights and fruitful advices about the general aspects of the strategy and proposed some alternative ways to explore.
