Current developments of data driven analytics in innovation research

The workshop “Current developments of data driven analytics in innovation research” is the conclusion of our internal project on the implementation of big data analytics in Fraunhofer ISI's main research topics that we have been working on at Fraunhofer ISI over the last 3 years. We present our findings and results and discuss current topics and solutions in this field with external experts.

The workshop agenda addresses the key research areas in the project showing methods and approaches from the field of data driven analytics:
