Can web scraped data inform innovation policy? : The BIGPROD Interactive Learning Workshop and the D14 Policy Brief

This said, a skills gap remains between practitioners and the broad leveraging of Policy Analytics. One of the objectives of the BIGPROD project is to organize an interactive learning workshop to inform public policy experts in the possibilities of Policy Analytics.

The BIGPROD project has, during the last two years, created a framework for using web scraped data in studying innovation. The project has web scraped information from close to 100 000 European Union and United Kingdom based companies, creating novel ways to measure product innovation, digitalization, collaboration and ecosystems and technology use in companies. In the interactive learning session, we will familiarize participants with the data and what type of novel insight can be gained from the data.
