In Search of a Comparative Advantage
Today, networks create competitive advantage as much as size.
Open government creates networks of collaboration and co-creation that improve competitiveness and produce real economic impact.
• Open Data lowers costs of accessing and reusing government-held data. Result: more startups and growth of IT sector.
• Open data alone could add at least €25 million per year to Macedonia’s economy (based on EU study)
• Australian study found Open Data unlocks value = 5x cost of opening data
