PANEL Open Data: Enabling Transparency, Empowering Communities and Creating Economic Opportunity

At the Data Summit in November 2021, Scotland’s First Minister stated the importance of high quality open and transparent data which both she and individuals used to make decisions on the pandemic. How do we build on this ambition more widely in a sustainable manner to save time, money and lives and to use data to provide social, economic and environmental benefits?

In this session, our speakers will each give a short pitch on why they think open data is important and how they have used open data to make decisions. This will be followed by a panel discussion. Amongst other areas, this will consider what success looks like for open data and what the challenges are, as well as the links between AI and publishing open data.
