City Data Exchange – A Marketplace for Public and Private Data – Peter Bjørn Larsen

The Copenhagen City Data Exchange – identify and engage the Big Data ecosystem – the potential suppliers and consumers of data from both the public and private sector.

Hitachi Consulting is leading a consortium currently developing a commercial marketplace for selling and buying data in Copenhagen and the surrounding region – the City Data Exchange. This is done in a co-creation process with the City of Copenhagen, the Capital Region and the national clean-tech cluster CLEAN, who initiated an innovative tender process with a competitive dialogue for the development of a data marketplace. An important part of the solution is to identify and engage the Big Data eco-system – the potential suppliers and consumers of data from both the public and private sector. The City Data Exchange will go live in the spring of 2016.
