“Our dream is that every publicagenda, every euro and anypublic issue could be easily
analyzed, visualized,understood and contributed to
by the citizens in advance.”
HRI won EUR 100 000 to make this dream a reality!
http://www.hri.fi/en/news/hri-wins-eus-prize-for-innovation/
How we will spend the EUR 100.000?• Open more data and develop
interoperability of the differentdatasets to match with Open Ahjo
• Encourage the creation ofprototype applications andvisualizations that showcase theusage of the data (Datademo.fi)
• Disseminate learnings so otherscan replicate it
Examples of datasetsto match with Open Ahjo(decision-making data):
• Population statistics andestimates
• Administrative boundaries• City financial data• City service point data• Real estate and land use
data• Environmental data• City issue reporting data

Council and budget was xx euros..I´ll send positive feedback!
Ordinary day in the near future
Interesting!I have some ideas and comments,
maybe I should participate?
We need to• to open more public data and enhance interoperability
(standards needed)
• to stimulate the utilisation of open data(e.g. Hel loves dev, Datademo, Apps4Finland,social media like Facebook-groups..)
Big cultural change• Changes in attitudes
”Are we ready for transparency?”• Changes in action models
”How our work will change? Extra work?Could I lose my job?”
• Resources?”Do we have time or money for this?”
• Risks and impacts?”What will happen after opening?”
