Data ecosystems – a new way of doing data together

With increasingly complex problems and a multitude of diverse user needs, we must join forces across sectors to find new ways of creating value.

A keynote presentation followed by a session with three short presentations will offer different views on data ecosystems followed by a facilitated dialogue with the audience and the presenters.

This session is arranged by Geoforum´s International Committee in collaboration with The Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure (SDFI).

The session is scheduled for Friday, November 18 at 11:00 – 12:30 with a preceeding keynote starting at 10:15. The Keynote and the session will be in English.

Dr. ir. Bastiaan van Loenen, TU Delft will give a keynote on Sustaibable open data ecosystems. Subsequently, the session Data ecosystems – a new way of doing data togetherwill begin.

The session will consist of three short presentations (10 min.) followed by a panel debate where Dr. van Loenen will participate.

The three presentations scheduled are:

  1. A Private Community as a Part of the Basic Data Ecosystem by Peter Knudsen (SDFI) and Eli Skop (Atkins)
  2. Spatial Data Ecosystems – a New Role for the Public Sector? by Sine Valbjørn Schlüter, SDFI
  3. Helsinki Smart City – Data Ecosystem by Anu Henriksson, City of Helsinki

Our aim with the session is create more awareness of data ecosystem, discuss the various benefits/challenges and highlight the value that can be created by this new form of ‘business-model’ – just one of many ways to define an ecosystem.
