The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.
The European Data Incubator (EDI) is an Innovation Action project co-funded by the European Union. You can now apply to European Data Incubator, the 8-month Big Data programme that will take your startup to the next level.
