INSPIRE maintenance & implementation framework

Moving into the implementation phase Important to preserve the investment

and the wealth of knowledge Main principles • Maintain participatory approach • Based on implementation experience • Cross-cutting coherence

Commission Expert Group on INSPIRE Implementation and Maintenance (MIG)

• Continuity of expertise “pool of experts”

“Deepening” INSPIRE: Air Quality reporting pilot

Using INSPIRE for enabling access to comparable near real-time air quality information

• Cooperation between DG ENV, JRC, EEA and MS volunteers

• Conformant with INSPIRE & existing reporting data flows between MSs and the EEA

• Future extensions in others INSPIRE thematic areas.

Innovation and Growth a key priority

• Crucial to build on the investment in research and e-infrastructures to support innovation and growth in Europe, particularly among SMEs.

• JRC partner of the smeSPIRE project to facilitate this transfer.

Business Benefits

• Overall picture Total ICT enterprises:

554.000 (Eurostat, 2009) ICT SMEs: 480.000 Total turnover: 400bln€ People employed: 2.9 million “micro” (< 10empl.) 90%

• smeSpire estimation: up to 2% of ICT SMEs dealing with GI

• SmeSpire survey of 250 SMEs in 2013

Location of new ICT SMEs 1995 - 2000 2001 - 2004

Survey results – impact of INSPIRE

• SmeSpire survey of 250 SMEs in 2013 • Impact of INSPIRE already quite high, expected to increase in

future • Major impacts related to introduction of new products/services

Cross-border applications

• Improved sharing of harmonised data (e.g. air quality measures) enables improved modelling and alert system

• Long range transport of air pollutant a clear example

INSPIRE and Digital Agenda

• INSPIRE supports interoperability of public administrations and Digital Agenda

• European Union Location Framework

• Re-usable INSPIRE reference platform

Extending INSPIRE to other policies

New Directions: Digital Science Sensor web, citizen

science, Future Internet

Multi-disciplinary interoperability

from standard towards brokering approach

Open data, Big data

the next frontier for innovation,

competition and productivity
