IGF 2020 Pre-Event #35 City open data platform - prototyping solutions for citizens and businesses

Learn in practice how city public data can be the foundation for new business ideas and a source of valuable insights to the citizens. Participate in our interactive case study and find out how access to information such as geospacial data can influence decision-making in our daily lives as well as trigger innovation and increase efficiencies in urban areas.

One of the ways to stimulate the development and growth of the competitiveness of private enterprises, and thus economic growth, is open access to information and knowledge of the public sector, results of available field R&D works, knowledge about citizens and public sector information resources. Increasing the availability of public data through digital platforms makes it easier for companies to make business decisions, serves to increase productivity, create new services and business models. An effective way to develop analytical platforms tailored to the needs of the field is a joint search for universal solutions and application prototyping. The workshop will be dedicated to developing analytical solutions in the field of city data, exploring examples, case studies and good practices, as well as understanding the policy dimension and technology implications.
