European survey on the re-use of Open Data on The European Data Portal

Re-using Open Data yields a diverse range of benefits, from improved performance of public administrations, economic growth in the private sector to wider social welfare. The study on Creating Value through Open Data estimated that between 2016 and 2020, the market size of Open Data is expected to increase by 36.9%, to a value of 75.7 bn EUR in 2020.

The European Data Portal team now wishes to collect examples of Open Data re-use to further promote the benefits of Open Data.

This survey is designed to gather information on companies that create products and/or services building on the re-use of Open Data. The examples provided should illustrate the economic impact of re-using Open Data at company level. This survey aims to include everyone. Whether you are a start-up, a non-profit organisation, a SME or a multibillion company, please participate in this survey!

In addition to analysing the survey results, 25 most interesting examples of Open Data re-use will be approached for an interview. The stories will be shared on the European Data Portal.

The information provided will be treated confidentially and will not be shared with third parties. The answers to the question will be used for research purposes only.
