This session will provide a platform to discuss technical challenges and business opportunities related to data. It will address questions related to building innovation-friendly ecosystems that incentivize private as well as public businesses to invest in the data economy both as producers of data and as providers of data-driven services.

This session will also present perspectives on frameworks that enable the use of data held by the public sector and the generation of data-driven revenue.

Open access to data is a key area within data management. Accordingly, this session can also explore how open access can be used to help cities set up a proper risk management scheme for the information collected.

This session will also provide an answer to how private and public sector data can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
