+
+As part of the Horizon Europe funding programme, seven pioneering projects have received funding to address the
+challenges posed by extreme data generated by IoT, industrial, business, administration, environmental, scientific and
+societal sources. These projects are pursuing innovative approaches that integrate cutting-edge technologies, including
+Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Edge/Fog/Cloud Computing.
+
+Under the 2022 Horizon Europe call for Digital and Space, topic “World Leading Data and Computing Technologies”, the EU
+recognises the intrinsic value of data for EU’s competitiveness. Projects funded under the
+cluster [HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-05 – Extreme data mining, aggregation and analytics technologies and solutions](https://cordis.europa.eu/programme/id/HORIZON_HORIZON-CL4-2022-DATA-01-05/en)
+seek to securely extract meaningful insights from raw data, facilitating advanced decision-making strategies.
+
+## Methodology and Novelty
+
+Through unique methodologies and application cases, each of the seven projects contribute to strengthening European
+capacities for agile responses to urgent needs by developing and enabling the uptake of the next generation of computing
+and data technologies and infrastructures. Operating within the framework of European values, the projects emphasise
+human-centred and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies, promoting trustworthy technology that
+empowers end-users.
+
+The projects leverage innovative infrastructures, converging and working seamlessly across the compute continuum. With
+diverse application cases, ranging from crisis management, mobility, to food security, the projects aim to bring their
+innovative work closer to end-users, making it a reality for them.
+
+## The Cluster Objectives
+
+The cluster is dedicated to fostering a vibrant community within the seven projects. By creating a space for exchange,
+knowledge-sharing and network-sharing the cluster aims to create a synergetic ecosystem. This collaborative effort
+maximises the impact of the projects by enhancing communication networks and facilitating exchange, with partners from
+across Europe, showcasing the effectiveness of Horizon Europe and laying the foundation for future collaborations.
+
+## DataNexus in Summary
