Canary Islands Open Data Portal receives ASEDIE Award
The Canary Islands Open Data Portal
[https://datos.canarias.es/portal/], a Spanish regional data portal,
received the 2021 ASEDIE [https://www.asedie.es/] Award for its
transparency in making public sector data available. The award
acknowledges the portal’s active involvement in the promotion of
open data and transparent ecosystems and its pivotal role in the
provision of relevant information to citizens and companies. 

ASEDIE is a multisectoral information association that brings together
infomediary companies from different sectors to publish data and
promote its use and re-use. Their mission is to provide the
information to support companies in creating their value-adding
products and services. This increases competition and helps drive the
economy. 

The Canary Islands Open Data Portal received the award at the 13th
International Conference on the Re-use of Public Sector Information
[https://www.asedie.es/en/conferences/12-edicion-9c4yh] in November
2021. These conferences strengthen the relationship and foster
collaboration between the public and private sector. This year’s
edition focused specifically on "Transparency and Data Re-use to Drive
Growth". The event offered much room for debate with two round tables
on (1) the topic of transparency, and (2) the re-use of public sector
information and open government. Through these debates, the impact and
importance of collaboration to boost the data economy in Spain was
emphasised. 

_"Transparency is an antidote to corruption. It requires a proactive
action",_ according to the Senator of the Spanish People’s Party,
Teresa Ruiz-Sillero.
