Vision and strategy Vision Igniting digital innovation to power sustained economic growth in the UK Accelerating digital innovators fromconcept to commercialisation by building platforms and capabilities that addressthe main challenges in the data value chain Demonstrating the transformativeimpact of digital innovation to UKbusiness and public sector leaders Strategy Linked economic impact over five years £365 million* * Validated externally by Innovation Observatory
Innovator challenges and unrealised opportunities CDEC will respond to • Realising the potential of integratedcontent and data • Exploiting next generation connectivity • Accessing the skills to develop successful new applications, services and products • Being heard in a crowded marketplace • All through providing platforms (capabilities, technology, skills, showcase, project studio) ‘Data data everywhereand not adrop to link’
