BIG - NESSI Networking Session at the European Data Forum 2014, 20 March 2014 in Athens, Greece: Intro Presentation

2. “a public private partnership…can
be a powerful way to work
together…Public money is not free
money. Before you can unlock it you
need a very clear plan, showing
how any public investment will work,
how it connects to the activities
around it, and how it will pay
off…we need a Strategic Research
and Innovation Agenda … from a
broad, inclusive and representative
basis, pulling together different
priorities, so they make sense………
we need to do all this quickly, and
to the highest quality”
Neelie Kroes
Vice-President of the
European Commission
