Bulgaria’s open data portal: Supporting transparent and data-driven public services
The national platform provides access to thousands of public-sector datasets for citizens, businesses and researchers
Bulgaria’s national open data portal offers a central access point to public-sector information published by government institutions across the country. Available through the Bulgarian open data portal, the platform helps users discover and access datasets from ministries, municipalities and other public bodies. By making information available in reusable formats, the portal supports transparency, innovation and evidence-based decision-making throughout society.
The portal is part of Bulgaria’s broader digital transformation efforts and is managed within the country’s e-government framework. Datasets cover a wide range of themes, including public administration, the environment, the economy, statistics and local government activities. Through a central catalogue, users can search for relevant information and access data published by numerous public-sector organisations, helping to improve the visibility and accessibility of government information.
Open data plays an important role in creating value from public-sector information. By providing machine-readable datasets that can be freely accessed and reused, Bulgaria contributes to the objectives of the European Union’s open data policy and the implementation of the Open Data Directive. The country continues to strengthen its open data ecosystem through improvements to its national portal and support for public authorities that publish data. According to the latest Open Data Maturity assessment, Bulgaria remains committed to enhancing data accessibility, quality and governance.
Whether you are developing a new digital service, conducting research or simply interested in how public information can be reused, the Bulgarian portal offers a valuable resource.
