DATANA DNA Data Storage Technology for a Sustainable Digital Future

Coordinator: BIOSISTEMIKA, RAZISKAVE IN RAZVOJ DOO (SI)

BioSistemika is developing a DNA data writing technology, which is addressing the growing global problem of insufficient storage supply of the escalating world’s production of digital data. By 2025, the worldwide production of data will grow to 175 zettabytes, which is 10 times the amount of data humanity produced in 2017. The gap is rapidly widening and we will not be able to store more than 20% of produced data by 2025, a scenario which poses a serious risk to our entire digital ecosystems and digital safety. Today, digital data is predominantly stored in large datacentres that are a major …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.9M toward a total project budget of €2.7M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2.8 years from 2021-05-01 to 2024-02-29.
