Innovation in Public Services, a conference organized by ESADE and LOCALRET
February 11th, Barcelona.

Open Data aims to make government data freely available to all citizens. This means that both companies and developers will be able to create advanced online services based on this data.

By doing so, Open Data targets two important results: To promote innovation, using public data as a catalyst for new applications and services, transforming governments from service providers into platform managers; and to return personal data to citizens, increasing transparency.

Open Data Initiatives have been endorsed by the Obama administration, as well as the governments of the UK, Australia, the European Union, etc., and is increasingly present in local government initiatives, particularly as a mechanism for promoting innovation in Smart Cities.

Jonathan Bartoli from Cap Digital will be intervening to talk about the state of open data in Paris.
