  • New surveys reveal dynamism, challenges of open data-driven businesses in developing countries

    December 17, 2014 Editor Comments Off on New surveys reveal dynamism, challenges of open data-driven businesses in developing countries

    Open data for economic growth continues to create buzz in all circles.  We wrote about it ourselves on this blog site earlier in the year.  You can barely utter the phrase without somebody mentioning the McKinsey report and the $3 trillion open data market.  The Economist gave the subject credibility with its talk about a ‘new goldmine.’ Omidyar published a report a few months ago that made $13 trillion the new $3 trillion.  The wonderful folks at New York University’s GovLab launched the OpenData500 to much fanfare.  The World Bank Group got into the act with this study.  The Shakespeare report was among the first to bring attention to open data’s many possibilities. Furthermore, governments worldwide now routinely seem to insert economic growth in their policy recommendations about open data – and the list is long and growing.

    We hope to publish a detailed report shortly but here meanwhile are a few of the regional findings in greater detail.
