This pitch will share insights from the Interreg NSR project Data for All, focusing on the challenge of ensuring that digital solutions remain in use, updated, and scalable after a project’s official end. The presentation aims to explain how the project prioritised technical development, stakeholder engagement, and the delivery of expected outputs, while dedicating less attention to establishing a sustainable long-term business and financial model.
It will outline why cost-sharing for regional databases, data warehouses, servers, and ongoing staff time is essential for maintaining and evolving a regional digital solution. The session will also aim to open a broader discussion on how other initiatives tackle long-term sustainability and what tools, expertise, or support structures can help project results endure beyond their funding period.
