What’s the data economy, and why should I care?

It was a pleasure giving my talk «What Is the Data Economy, and Why Should I Care?» at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) of Univ. Pontificia de Comillas.

I intended to raise awareness on this interesting topic. After introducing some basic concepts of the data economy, I pointed to exciting opportunities at the intersection of economics, computer science, and digital law for cutting-edge research on overcoming the challenges of streamlining data markets. We then had an interesting Q&A session on the situation of data markets, the business models of entities participating in them, and the role of EU regulation and its impact on innovation and competitiveness.
