Digital transformation is a great challenge to any economy in the world. Economic data science is changing the principles of development known to date and represents a huge opportunity for both companies and the national economy as a whole. Data science can make a major contribution to a new emerging industry. That means that the Romanian society in this new field can cease to be just a consumer of what others think and can become a provider and creator of innovative solutions.

MP Ozmen says this approach represents "an opportunity for an important leap in the digital development of Romania."

Global trends and threats, such as the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, have also played a key role in speeding up the digital transformation in many areas. The manner and scope of the use of data science-based technologies in the energy sector requires in-depth reflection, based on substantial debate that involves experts, representatives of the private sector, national companies and decision-makers.

Data science solutions in smart grids will allow, among other things, the integration and stabilisation of distributed production and renewable energy sources, efficient management of electricity consumption, and by increasing the flexibility and control of the energy system they will introduce dynamic price formulas and increase the level of reliability of the supply and the quality of the electricity supplied to customers.

In the near future, we will face a radical increase in the use of data science solutions in almost all areas of life and economics, the organisers point out.
