Open Data Showcase 2023

Open Innovations will be 10 years old in November. To kick off our celebrations we are hosting a Showcase during Leeds Digital Festival on September 28th. This will take place in person at our innovation space in Munro House and will include talks, presentations and demos by some of our most recent partners.

We get asked weekly for our help, advice, input and opinions on data, how to use it, share it, visualise it, analyse it and ultimately use it to make a difference. The Showcase is an opportunity to see how we work, who we work with and the tangible outputs of our work.

The aim is that other people, organisations and businesses will see the impact that working openly can have and start their own radically open journey. Free & open to all - please come along to learn, share and do.
