MEET EUROPE’S TOP DATA PORTABILITY PROJECTS!
First open call results are out!
Get to know the 11 projects embarking on the DAPSI journey
Applications for the first cohort of the Data Portability & Services Incubator (DAPSI) closed on 22 April 2020 with an impressive number of 182 submissions, coming from 33 different countries. With so many great solutions presented the evaluation process was not easy but ended up with the selection of 11 high potential projects to solve data portability challenges.
“I was actually super surprised about the number of high quality proposals. The majority of submissions were very good and detailed and creative. It was really hard to select the right proposals but at the end I’m very happy with the final list.”
Nextcloud CEO and DAPSI Advisory Board Member, Frank Karlitschek.
The DAPSI journey
DAPSI will support the selected projects through a 9-month
incubation programme where experts in diverse fields will provide a successful
working methodology, access to top infrastructure, training in business and
data related topics, coaching, mentoring, and a vibrant ecosystem. On top of
that, each DAPSI project can receive up to €150k equity-free funding.
In the two-phase programme, the projects will develop
advanced solutions in the Data Portability field to
make it significantly easier for citizens to have any data which is stored with
one service provider transmitted directly to another provider. From
September 2020 to February 2021 (Kick-Start phase) they will develop a solution
related to a specific use case. The best projects will progress to the second phase
(Booster phase), from March to June 2021, where the use cases will be fostered
to evolve into solid projects to gain enough traction for deployment and get
ready for the market.
"I have ambitious expectations for this programme. We will distribute 5.6M€ to engage top-notch innovators developing solutions with high potential to reach the market in many cases."
DAPSI's Coordinator, Sara Mateo.
