Digital, Industry & Space Digital Europe AI, data & cloud
The Data Act is an EU law designed to enhance the EU's data economy and foster a competitve data market by making data more accessible and usable. This summary of the Data Act can be useful background information for stakeholders preparing proposals, especially in the domains Horizon Europe Cluster 4 and Digital Europe AI, data & cloud.
The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
