DAPSI will foster the advanced research in the Data Portability field through the support to researchers, SMEs and high tech startups from all over Europe. DAPSI proposes a match making process: an intersection between science and business, an opportunity to unite the knowledge and experience of both areas to achieve a common goal around Data Portability. To do so, DAPSI consortium will select the best applications to build complementary teams that will research and apply this advancement to relevant uses cases with market potential in a collaborative way. Up to 58 teams will be selected and only the best ones will progress through three phases of 10 months in an incubation programme where experts in diverse field will provide a successful working methodology, access to top infrastructure, training in business and data related topics, coaching, mentoring, visibility, community building and investment. On top of that, each DAPSI team will receive up to 195k€ equity-free funding, distributing a total amount of 5.6M€ through three open calls. The consortium led by ZABALA and participated by F6S, CAP DIGITAL, IMT, FRAUNHOFER and ENGINEERING will also work to contribute to the progress of the NGI community in the Data Portability domain generating insights and recommendations in the field.
