Today, 56% of the global population lives in cities. This number is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. Our city governments are the stewards of valuable data, data systems and data policies. How might we better equip our cities to solve problems with data? The Open Data Policy Lab‘s City Incubator is a program to help public intrapreneurs from 10 cities around the world to develop their data innovation ideas into reality by providing dedicated support over a six month period from September 2021 to March 2022.
In Part I of the City Incubator seminar, we will hear from the cities of Winnipeg, Canada; Guayaquil, Ecuador; Timișoara, Romania; Syracuse, New York, USA; and Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
Part II of the City Incubator seminar will feature five additional cities and will take place on Friday, February 11th. See the event page for more details.
