The Aporta Awards have been created to disseminate and recognize innovative projects that reuse public data

We invite all companies that have successfully carried out projects with reusable data generated by Spanish public administrations to submit their application for the Aporta Awards. 

The Aporta Awards 2017, an initiative promoted by the State Secretariat for the Information Society and Digital Agenda, the Public Enterprise Body Red.es and the General Secretariat for Digital Government, have been created with the aim of disseminating and recognizing success stories that may serve to help other public sector professionals to innovate and focus on reuse of open data as an engine for digital transformation and innovation.

Companies wishing to participate have until September 12 to present projects carried out in the last two years in which data reuse has contributed to the generation of social value, new businesses and/or improvements to society.

Applications, which will refer to initiatives that have made use of open public data generated by the Public Administration or data provided by private entities, must be submitted using the form available in the electronic head office of Red.es.

Projects will be evaluated during the month of September by representatives of the Aporta Initiative. The originality, usefulness and impact of the initiative will be taken into account in terms of the beneficiaries thereof.

The best two initiatives will receive recognition in the Aporta Conference to be held in late October 2017.

We hope that our dissemination and recognition of success stories in the reuse of public data will help many other professionals in the private sector to innovate and commit to the use of data generated by Public Administrations as a source of competitive advantage.
