The data has become a fundamental input in any economic process. In its raw state - untreated, isolated - the data is a priori worthless. It is from their scientific treatment, processing and analysis that useful and original knowledge is extracted - never before could data be 'read' as it can be done today - thanks to innovations in Big Data and Data Science. New tools (programming languages, machine learning, scientific data methods), new capabilities (Internet in Mobility and the Internet of Things, cloud computing) and new professional skills in the digital field (since today we find ourselves in a scenario of scarcity of profiles) are the ones that have made it possible for business models to be generated until recently were unimaginable and catalogue as unviable.
