The deadline for submitting innovative projects developed with public data to the Aporta Awards, in the final stretch

On 12 September, the deadline ends for companies and entities that have developed projects with public data to submit their projects in the first Aporta Awards in 2017. These awards are focused on divulging and recognising professionals who have opted for reusing open data and innovation as a driving force for digital transformation and who are promoted by the Secretariat of State for the Information Society and the Digital Agenda, the Public Business Entity Red.es and the General Secretariat of Digital Administration.

With this initiative, the aim is to promote and make visible the value of the data generated by the Spanish public administrations, as well as to reuse them. Projects that may qualify for these awards must have been developed in the last two years, reusing public data and contributing to generate social value, new business and/or improvements for society.

Applications will be evaluated during the month of September by representatives from the Aporta Initiative. The originality, utility and impact of the initiative will be considered in terms of beneficiaries. The two best initiatives will receive recognition at the Aporta Conference which will take place at the end of October 2017.

We invite and encourage industry professionals and innovative companies to apply for the Aporta Awards, through the form available on the Red.es website. The deadline is 12 September. Come participate!

All the information is available at dagos.gob.es and in the Terms and Conditions of the 2017 Aporta Awards.
