Boosting data driven business by harmonizing APIs and datasets

The opening up and utilisation of data creates innovations and business as companies and developers use the data as the raw material for new services. Open data offers access to public information, making its utilisation easier than before.

For cities, the aim is to involve the business sector in active cooperation so that operators can share their own data needs, influence the interface solutions and standards chosen, utilise the open data provided by cities and open up their own data for use by others.

Six cities provide a test environment and market for companies

CitySDK APIs have been further developed as part of Six City Strategy joining together the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Turku, Tampere and Oulu. As part of 6Aika Open data and Interfaces project, the cities open up their data while developing and following shared operating models. The cities offer an excellent test environment and market for new trials and services. As such, measures for activating companies and other developers are an integral part of the spearhead project. The aim is to make the opening up of data a natural part of the normal operation of cities, thus helping them facilitate the creation of data-based services and business even after the completion of the project. Read more.
