Hello, This is Maria Claudia and Athena, we are part of the BDTI team.
The Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI) was created by the European Commission in 2019 as part of the Digital Europe Programme (DEP), which aims to accelerate the economic recovery and shape the digital transformation of European society and economy by increasing the availability, quality and usability of public sector information fostering the re-use of open data for a data-driven public sector. The BDTI is a ready-to-use and free analytics cloud platform which aims to help public administrations to use open data and derive insights to support them in their decision-making. The first pilots have successfully helped national administrations to optimize their processes and increased transparency. We hope to see other projects flourish which will contribute to the common good. The current ecosystem is completely based on open-source tools which is a strong requirement for our broader mission . As part of our BDTI ecosystem<https://ec-europa.github.io/bdti-infrastructure/service_offering/>, we offer Apache Spark and Apache Airflow, and we hope that your tool will support national administrations on their journey to data-driven decision making and leverage the innovative and collaborative power of open source. To encourage its successful use, we ensure that users have sufficient resources at their disposal. Considering this aspect and as we saw on your website your use cases for the public sector, would you be interested in setting up a meeting with us to discuss how you could support the digital literacy of our users? We believe this will be beneficial for our users to not only engage more dynamically with your product but to build bridges between the public sector and initiatives like yours to contribute to the development of open data and open-source projects.
