democracy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxCQHKUly44], and promoting
a European way of life and an economy that works for all people

empowering people with a new generation of technologies and making
Europe fit for the digital age

The session started with an introduction to this EU political priority
followed by three presentations from representatives of use cases.
First, the Big Data Test Infrastructure
[https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/bdti] explained
their ready-to-use, free of charge, analytics platform which supports
European public administrations to reuse public sector data by
experimenting with open-source tools.

Secondly, 100 Europeans [https://www.100europeans.org/] presented
their app, which translates Europe’s biggest problems into relatable
data stories, envisioning Europe as a community of 100 people. The
third use case, Lobium/Gavagai [https://www.lobium.ai/], presented
their app making it easier for journalists to investigate legislative
arenas in a faster and better way. At the end of the webinar, an
interactive discussion was held to ask questions to the speakers. 
For example, a question was asked on possible improvements for public
administrations to support these initiatives.
