Summary/Abstract: Along with the digitisation of the economy, the amount of produced data has increased dynamically. The European Commission (EC) wants to stimulate data usage and sharing between enterprises, citizens, and the public sector in the EU. Creating a “data single market” aims at increasing innovation and economic growth in conditions of extensive international competition. The main challenge is achieving the EU’s ambitions of becoming independent from American cloud service providers and growing European enterprises’ share in the data market.
