24. There’s a lot of data today
There are nearly as many pieces of digital information as there are stars in the universe
Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until  2003
Stacking a pile of CD-ROMs on top of one another for all current global storage capacity would stretch 80,000 km beyond the moon
90% of all digital information was created in the last 2 years

25. The National Institute for Smart Data Innovation (NISDI) will enable industry to unleash the huge potential for innovation offered by the explosive growth in digital data.
Once processed and analysed, digital data can become “Smart Data”, enabling new products and services that greatly benefit the country’s economy and its citizens. However, a major skills gap is preventing the UK from realising the potential of Smart Data.
NISDI will overcome this barrier by creating a unique new facility which brings together industry, the public sector and universities to create the skills, ideas and resources needed to exploit these opportunities.
Driven by the needs of industry, NISDI will allow the region, the Northern Powerhouse and the UK to become global leaders in this important sector, estimated to be worth around $125bn per annum.
