Open data project competition
The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications announces a project competition, the purpose of which is to support public sector institutions in developing the field of open data and promoting innovation.

Open data, i.e. data without access restrictions, is important for the functioning of the e-state, encouraging research, innovation and increasing the transparency of the state. Estonian open data is available to everyone in the open data information portal, and the goal of the project competition is to encourage even more institutions to disclose and use open data.
