Personal Data and Trust Innovators Network:
The rationale
• The next growth of the Internet is likely to rely on the successful generation
and management of personal data. High levels of trust and confidence in
these data are a pre-requisite for successful new services, which have both
huge economic and social potential.
• The Personal Data and Trust Network, building on world-class research and
business insight, will help organisations to develop the next-generation of
personal data management, giving the UK clear advantages for consumers
and citizens.

Form community interest groups 10
Some will be sector specific “verticals” such as banking and others will be
“horizontal” such as security or psychology. By way of illustration, two early
groups are:
• Privacy Working Group
Working to define a “best practice” privacy standard that companies can be certified against
• PIMS provider forum
Collective challenges and opportunities faced by providers of personal information management services
These are the first of many. If there’s a personal data and trust related topic which
you feel would benefit from an open working group and would like to establish,
please let us know.

Create research roadmap 11
• Bring together Industry and the Research Councils to create a
research roadmap which drives economic and social growth
• Spearheaded by a number of events run by the KTN and the Digital
Economy Hubs around the country
• SME’s and Corporates will be invited to contribute views and work to
identify key challenges
• Output will be fed into the Research Councils and IUK to guide future
research and calls.

KTN, Research Councils and Digital Economy Hubs
