Data are interesting and they drive innovation. In the 21st century, data plays a similar role in the digital economy as coal played in the 18th century in industrial development. Huge amounts of data allow us to exploit and develop new generations of technological solutions such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, advanced statistics, predictive behavioral analysis of users, customers, and markets. In addition, analyzing large data is a creative and interesting activity.
