What really is the power of open data? How can it be transformed into innovative solutions?

Join the data.europa.eu workshop ‘Open data for regional growth: showcasing a real-life success story’ in Brussels to find out! The in-person session will take place on 11 October 2023 from 14.30 to 15.30 CET. 

The workshop is part of the European Week of Regions and Cities 2023: Thriving Regions, Stronger Europe (#EURegionsWeek). Taking place from 9 to 12 October 2023, it is the biggest annual Brussels-based event dedicated to regional and urban policy, organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the European Committee of the Regions. The event serves as a communication and networking platform, bringing together regions, cities, politicians, administrators, experts and academics from all over Europe.

This year’s edition of the European Week of Regions is closely linked to innovation during transitionary times, focusing on retaining talent for regional growth, sustainability and promoting social innovation. What does it have to do with open data?

Sharing open data can help drive regional development and support decision-making across borders. During the workshop, the participants will learn more about the power of open data and how it can support innovative solutions to boost economic growth, ensure food security or address the energy crisis. A special guest Geofluxus, winner of the EU Datathon 2020, will also share their success story and showcase how open data can contribute to advancing innovation in regional development.

Join the workshop and learn how open data supports innovative solutions and boosts Europe!
