DATA, THE ENGINE OF THE WORLD
Data is a fundamental
element to facilitate
decision-making and
generate economic and social
value through innovation.

The volume of data in the world is growing every year.
Data generated both by companies and by society as a whole.
The data economy in the European Union (EU27) in 2023
544 billion euros:
The value of the data

DATA AS A TECHNOLOGICAL BASIS
IN ALL SECTORS
Data is the basis of many technologies that make our lives easier:
This makes them an asset for all sectors:
• E-health
• Personalised education
• Efficient public sector
• Smart cities
• Intelligent Agriculture
• Food security
• Intelligent Transport
• Industry 4.0
• Intelligent energy management
• Sustainable environmental
management
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Big Data Blockchain Internet of Things

"To support the development of AI and other frontier technologies, Europe
needs to exploit the untapped potential of data. Access to data is not only a
major driver for competitiveness, accounting for almost 4% of EU GDP, but also
essential for productivity and societal innovations, from personalised medicine
to energy savings.
"While ensuring high standards of data protection, we will support companies
by improving open access to data. (…) Europe needs a data revolution. This is
why we will put forward a European Data Union Strategy."
Ursula von der Leyen,
Political guidelines for the next European Commission (2024-2029)
July 2024

EUROPE'S ROLE
IN THE DATA REVOLUTION
The EU has launched a European Data Strategy
with the aim of becoming a leader in a data-driven society Among its lines of action is to
promote the exchange of
information and the creation of
a single market for data where:
• Data can flow between
countries and economic
sectors in the EU.
• European standards and
values are respected, with
particular attention to the
protection of personal data.
• The rules for data access
and use are fair, practical
and clear.
Regulations to be considered:
Open data
Directive 2019/1024,
promoting the re-use
of public sector
information
Data
governance
Regulation 2022/868,
which facilitates the
exchange of data
between sectors and
between Member
States
European
Data Act
Regulation 2023/868,
which promotes
harmonised rules for fair
access and use of data
Data from
High Value
Implementing Regulatio
n (EU) 2023/138
establishing the list of
high value datasets
IA Act
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
, which constitutes
a reference framework for
the development of IA
systems

DATA SPACES TO DRIVE INNOVATION
In addition to open data, the EU27 aims to invest in and develop common data spaces in strategic
economic sectors and sectors of public interest
Related European initiatives
what are data spaces?
Ecosystem where different actors
share data voluntarily and
securely, following common
governance, organisational,
regulatory and technical
mechanisms.

7
THE SPANISH STRATEGY, IN LINE WITH EUROPE
This European framework is reflected in our country through the Digital Spain
2026 Agenda, which includes, among other aspects:
The need to develop the data economy and
artificial intelligence in Spain, applying innovation
and experimentation in the use of data in the
Administration, promoting and facilitating the
creation of:
• Accessible data repositories
• A cross-cutting platform for shared data from
administrations as well as businesses Intelligent automation of processes
and the development of data-driven
public services.
Regulatory and ethical
framework for the
deployment of AI
Data and technology infrastructures
supporting AI, including a National Plan
for Natural Language Technologies
SOME KEY POINTS

WHAT IS OPEN DATA?
Europe defines open data as:
Data in open formats that anyone can use:
 Use
 Reuse
 Share
For any purpose
THIS DATA IS GENERATED BY ALL OF US:
Administrations Universities and Researchers Citizens Companies

9
*High-value data: data with a high
potential to generate 'benefits for
society, the environment and the
economy' (geospatial, environmental,
statistical, meteorological, business
and mobility data ).
OPEN DATA IN
EUROPEAN AND SPANISH LEGISLATION
Through directive
2019/1024, Europe
calls for the principle
of "open by design
and by default",
ensuring public
security and the
protection of
personal data.
Spain follows the
recommendation by
following the same
principles.
Widespread authorisation
to re-use data associated
with services provided or
funded by the public sector
(transport, research, etc.).
Special focus on dynamic and
high-value data*:
• Machine-readable
• Provided through API
• Provided by bulk download
Free reuse by default
and transparency on
possible exclusive
agreements.
Generalised authorisation Valuable data Free reuse
Law 37/2007 on the re-use of public sector information

10
WHO USES OPEN DATA?
Open data is a win-win situation
that implement open
data solutions to
improve the efficiency,
effectiveness and
transparency of public
services.
Government Bodies Companies,
entrepreneurs,
developers, etc.
that generate products
and services that have
an impact on the
economy and society.
Citizens
who are better
informed, with better
services and tools in
various fields thanks to
open data.

11
THE USE OF DATA IN
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS
Public administrations provide open data, but also reuse it for:
• Identify patterns that support decision making
• Identify areas for improvement, optimise its functioning and better plan resources
• Providing better quality services and facilitating interaction with citizens
EXAMPLES
It allows to visualise the analysis
disaggregated by type of energy and
geographical location. It has resulted in
savings of €2 million per year since 2015 in
fixed electricity costs alone.
They have optimised the reliability of
pollen level prediction by 25% thanks
to a system using open data and
Artificial Intelligence (AI).
It allows identifying patterns and
trends, assessing accessibility to
tourism resources, planning new
tourism infrastructures and making
data-driven decisions.

THE USE OF DATA IN BUSINESS
Open data is the raw material for new services, products and applications.
Infomediaries create value-added products and services with public and private data.
In 2024, in Spain, the sector generated:

2,300 million
Overall turnover
(2.4% compared to the previous year)
Employees
(3.6% compared to the previous year)
EXAMPLES
Tourism:
analysis of traveller trends
Energy:
smart meters that take
atmospheric conditions into
account
Real estate sector:
analysis of market prices and
conditions in different areas
Agriculture:
soil or weather data to
optimise irrigation
23,000 people

Open data accounts
for 12% of the value
of Europe's data
economy
According to the
European Union, the
value generated by
public sector
information will
grow from 52 billion
euros in 2018 to 194
billion euros in 2030
A significant
proportion of new
models and studies
are based on
accessible and open
data
Open datasets are
vital to accelerate
innovation in
machine learning.
78.3% of research in
this sector is based
on open data

THE USE OF OPEN DATA
FOR CITIZENSHIP
Citizens benefit from improvements in public services and from the wealth generated by
companies, while at the same time they have access to accurate and verified information.
Budgetary viewfinders that
boost transparency and
accountability
Solutions that help you make better decisions, and
that can save you money
Applications that provide
closer and more efficient
services
EXAMPLES

15
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
OPEN DATA AND TRANSPARENCY?
Open data and transparency are two key elements in
creating open government, but they should not be
confused:
• When we talk about transparency, we refer to the access to and
consultation of public information that seeks accountability
• Opendata goes one step further and aims to enable the re-use of
such information, and should therefore be in an open and free,
machine-readable format.
Re-use of data as added
value on the right of
access
Law 19/2013, of 9 December, on transparency, access to public information and good governance.
Law 37/2007 of 16 November 2007 on the re-use of public sector information

GOALS
WHAT IS THE
INITIATIVA APORTA?
The Aporta Initiative is the national strategy
for coordinating and promoting the opening
up of data from the public sector, and for
promoting the development of advanced
services based on it.
• Promote and coordinate the opening of data
generated by the public sector.
• Stimulate a market linked to the re-use of public
sector information.
• Contribute to favouring the conditions for the
development of the European Data Strategy in
Spain.
