Discuss Your SetupWhat this solution is
Government Open Data Platform — public repository of state data, accessible to researchers, businesses, journalists, civil society.
Includes:
- Statistical data (demographics, economy).
- Spatial data (cadastre, infrastructure, transport).
- Operational data (procurement awards, court decisions, regulatory actions).

International standards (Open Government Partnership) require it.
Innovation ecosystem needs data inputs.
How it works
