    Open Data Forum 2020 | Making Impact with Open Data

    Friday, September 18, online

    We invite people from across the globe to join us and discuss the impact of open data on resolving civil society challenges and enhancing governance.

    The Open Data Forum is an annual event devoted to the development and application of open data in Ukraine. Now in its fourth year and taking place digitally for the first time, the Forum unites Ukrainian central and local government representatives, civil society activists, Ukrainian and international data experts, and the start-up community. The Forum offers a unique opportunity to inform and shape Ukraine’s open data agenda. The theme of this year’s event is the impact of open data on resolving civil society challenges and enhancing governance.

    Over the last five years, Ukraine has made significant progress in harnessing the power of open data to increase transparency and accountability in governance and enhance citizen services. Open data legislation has improved, and as a result, the number of datasets required to be published by state authorities has tripled to more than 900. Programs to support the development of startups based on open data have also been implemented, and a coalition of international experts has conducted extensive research on the economic potential of open data for Ukraine. In the span of just a few years, dozens of data-driven solutions based on central and local government-sourced open data have been created and implemented by public and private sector representatives across the country. Now is the time to talk about open data impact in Ukraine.

    The 2020 Open Data Forum program includes:

    • Real-life cases of how government, business, and civil society activists use open data;
    • Discussion of the impact of open data across sectors, including construction, healthcare, environment and others;
    • The role of business and civil society in the development of open data;
    • What’s new on the Government of Ukraine’s agenda for further improvement of open data policy in Ukraine;
    • Announcement of winners of the Open Data Challenge, an annual competition for startups using open data.

    Date and Time: Friday, September 18, 2020, from 11:00 AM to 3:13 PM (GMT+3)
