Smart Cities Workshop – Open Data: Support development through the local digital agenda

“A recent study referring to 2008 estimates that, at EU level, the public sector information market is worth €28 billion. The same study indicates that the total economic gains of further opening up public sector information, through easier access to it, would amount to around €40 billion per year for the EU-27. Overall, direct and indirect revenues in the EU-27 from applications using public sector information would be in the order of €140 billion annually.” [COM (2011) 882 final – Open data: an engine for innovation, growth and transparent governance].

The data held by the central and local Public Administration, if made available and duly processed also through dedicated applications, can favor the intelligent development of urban fabrics, according to the Smart Cities model, as well as constitute an important lever for the economic strengthening of the territories. The Government has set up the Digital Agenda which already describes a regulatory reference framework and provides support tools within which public bodies, organizations and businesses can - respectively - make the data in their possession available, use them and reprocess them by developing new applications .
The seminar offers businesses and local players an overview of current opportunities, as well as models and concrete examples of successful strategies and applications.
