Data has become one of the most valuable resources in the world. Access to digital technologies and open data are crucial for good living and entrepreneurial conditions in the Alpine region. 80 million people living in the Alpine Space have specific needs for valuable and on-time quality services. To provide for these services, open data is a valuable source of information that can serve as basis for useful services provided by the public sector and businesses. Even though there are several local initiatives using open data in different sectors in the Alpine region, an integrated and efficient strategy was missing. DEAS worked to improve the value of using open data for public service and business and focused on strategic sectors of the Alpine Space, which benefit from their use such as environment, tourism and mobility. DEAS supported the public and private sectors in order to boost the creation of new disruptive and customer-oriented services or products for citizens, tourists and entrepreneurs.
