The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry has moved forward with its plans to establish the National Big Data Institute (NBDi) as a major provider of data analytics, and is now seeking approval for the venture at the next cabinet meeting.
When approval is received and announced in the Royal Gazette, the NBDi is expected to be established within 180 days.
The NBDi will be developed from the existing Government Big Data Institute (GBDi), which is overseen by the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (Depa).
