The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) wants to establish a national network of "Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs" that will help to sustain new regional and grassroots partnerships around big data. NSF says the hubs will accelerate the ideation and development of big data solutions to specific global and societal challenges by organizing stakeholders across sectors in results-driven programs and projects, and will help academic, industry, and community stakeholders create partnerships to drive successful pilot programs for emerging big data technology. The hubs also will coordinate across multiple regions of the country, based on shared interests and industry-sector engagement, to enable dialogue and sharing of best practices, and aim to increase the speed and volume of technology transfer between public and private research centers.
