The 2023 Open Data Maturity Report has been released! 
The ninth annual report measuring the level of open data maturity
across Europe is published. The 2023 Open Data Maturity (ODM) Report
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity/2023]
records the progress achieved by EU Member States as they push forward
open data publication and reuse, as well as the different priorities
set to enable this. 

The year’s report is based on a self-assessment survey that was
completed by 35 countries. While remaining an EU-focused exercise, in
fact, the ODM 2023 includes not only the 27 EU Member States, but also
3 European Free Trade Association

countries (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland) and 5 candidate countries
(Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Ukraine). 

The assessment focuses on four indicators:  

 	*
POLICY – looking at countries' open data policies and
strategies;  

 	*
IMPACT – monitoring open data reuse and its impact;  

 	*
PORTAL – assessing national portal features that enhance
accessibility and support interaction within the open data
community; 

 	*
QUALITY – focusing on mechanisms that ensure the quality of
(meta)data. 

Based on these dimensions, countries are scored and clustered into
four different groups, from the most to the least mature:
trend-setters, fast-trackers, followers, and beginners. This is
specially to encourage further development and facilitate the
provision of recommendations targeting each of these groups of
countries. 

This year, EU-27 Member States have raised their average open data
maturity from 79% in 2022 to 83%, with standout performances from
Slovakia and Latvia. Among the EFTA countries, Iceland has marked the
steepest progress, while among the candidate countries, the most
significant year-on-year increase in overall score has been achieved
by Montenegro.
