Project Description & Objectives
Today's networked world produces large amounts of data with great diversity in terms of volume and data sources, with data from industry 4.0 and self-organized systems or services gaining an ever-increasing share. The invention of new technologies in the field of Big Data, therefore, requires new know-how.
A key path to the integration of value creation and digitization systems and related services in industry 4.0 is to support human decision-making with automated digital algorithms. The gap between human cognitive abilities and the need to understand large amounts of data is widening and therefore requires technological support and specially trained professionals.
BRIDGE-US aims to strengthen the required capabilities as a Big Data Expert by comprehensively marketing research. The project includes various activities ranging from different types of workshops to the marketing of Big Data Research Made in Germany through innovative promotional materials and social networking activities.
