Courses in  Big Data

Transforming Brussels into a SmartCity and reinforcing our capital’s place on the global tech scene. 

Brussels: The Beating Heart of Big Data

Technology is evolving at high speeds. Today, the future of companies depends on the processing of “Big Data”, in other words, the ever-increasing quantities of data, which constitute the new type of  raw material to be valued in almost all sectors.

However, many companies and professionals do not always know how to use their data and/or are not aware of the added value they could gain from it.

It is in response to these problems that the project “Brussels: The Beating Heart of Big Data” was born.

This project, which is being developed as part of Measure 8 of the Next Tech Plan, offers 3 training cycles of 10 courses on big data, at both beginner and advanced levels. These 3 cycles will be followed by a Hackathon weekend.

No prerequisites are required to start these courses. The aim of these courses is to familiarize participants with the principles of Big Data.
