Country Insights on data.europa.eu: Discovering open data innovations
across Europe
The ‘Country Insights
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/country-insights]’ section
on data.europa.eu is dedicated to highlighting public administration
success stories, demonstrating how the adoption and use of open data
drives progress across Europe. This section offers a detailed,
geography-focused perspective on the developments in each country,
providing valuable insights into how open data initiatives are making
an impact. 

Within each country profile, users can explore a variety of resources.
These include factsheets that present the latest performance updates
from the Open Data Maturity assessment
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity], offering
a clear view of where each country stands in terms of open data
adoption and use. In addition, blogs provide in-depth narratives on
the country’s journey with open data, discussing key initiatives,
successes, and challenges. Each profile also features use cases that
show real-world examples of how open data has been applied to solve
problems or improve public services. Reports where the country plays a
significant role in the open data landscape are also available,
offering additional insights into regional and global open data
efforts.  

Furthermore, the profiles include information on events and webinars
where the country’s representatives are actively participating, as
well as news articles that feature their recent achievements and
developments. For example, Switzerland’s profile includes the news
piece ‘Open data portals around Europe: Switzerland encouraging an
exchange of open government data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/open-data-portals-around-europe-switzerland-encouraging-exchange-open-government]’
which illustrates Switzerland’s commitment to promoting transparency
and collaboration. Estonia’s profile showcases the report ‘Open
data best practices in Europe: Estonia, Slovenia, and Ukraine
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/Open_Data_Best_Practices_in_Europe_Estonia_Slovenia_and_Ukraine.pdf]’
emphasising regional collaboration and shared best practices. 

The Country Insights section on data.europa.eu is a valuable resource
for exploring how different countries are progressing with open data
usage. By sharing these success stories, the platform encourages the
exchange of knowledge and inspires collaboration across borders.
