Sharing open data can help drive regional development and support decision making across borders. The workshop will present the power of open data and show how entrepreneurial talents transformed open data from the public sector into innovative solutions to help boost economic growth, ensure food security or address the energy crisis. With a real success story from a winner of our EU Datathon competition, we will show how open data can contribute to advancing innovation in regional development.
