Open data
Currently, much valuable data is held in silos, difficult to access and problematic to share. As we deepen our economy digitally, connectivity and the wider flow of data among players and across sectors will be key to expanding innovation and the availability of services. Our working group will examine how, building on the principles of open banking, we might extend the ability for innovators to access data securely and shape it into services, while protecting ethics and consumer privacy.
