EIDF brings together regional, national and international datasets to create new products, services, and research. It is not a single system but a portfolio of services, which will continuously grow and develop in response to data-driven challenges.
EIDF is hosted and managed by EPCC. It is funded by the UK and Scottish Governments under the Data-Driven Innovation initiative of the Edinburgh and South-East Scotland City Region Deal.
