The OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) and its partners at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation are excited to convene innovators from around the world for a conference on Innovation in Government: The New Normal on 20-21 November 2017. The conference will highlight insights from OPSI’s work with countries that are transforming their operations and improving the lives of their people through innovation. It will bring together government leaders, public servants, and innovative partners in industry and civil society to connect, share experiences, and collaborate.

Cities worldwide face serious data-related challenges and are formulating strong ambitions with regards to topics like smart cities, open data, big data, and data driven, evidence based policy making. Also cities are using data more and more in contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals by working with organizations like World Council on City Data. In other words, cities want and need work with data. However, often the problem is that city-officials are no data experts.
The Dutch city of Eindhoven realised this in the summer of 2016 and challenged CBS Statistics Netherlands to jointly develop a solution for this problem.
