Big data booms but not everywhere yet. Stemming from the military sector, the main developments in big data take place in commercial marketing. But what about the public sector: Do governments make use of new data and methods? Should they? And does big data follow different rules when applied in government use?
We will discuss these questions with:
Siim Sikkut, national ICT policy adviser in the Government Office of Estonia. He will give us an insight into how the government of the country known as a European digital pioneer (‘E-stonia’) approaches the possible gains and pitfalls of big data for government.
Dirk Mahnkopf, specialist for ‘Big Data and Analytics’ at Cisco, will share his expertise from inside a company that explores the potential of big data for government use in many countries.
Jeanette Hofmann, director of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society and lead of a project about the regulation of big data. She will share her thoughts on drivers and obstacles for big data in the public sector and lead the conversation.
*Doors open 6:30 pm.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
