Bulgaria’s open data portal: Supporting transparent and data-driven
public services
Bulgaria’s national open data portal
[https://web.archive.org/web/20260402174522/https://data.egov.bg/data]
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. [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2019/1024/oj/eng]
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
[https://data.europa.eu/en/open-data-maturity/2025#country-profiles/country_BG],
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. Explore the Bulgarian
open data portal and discover how open data is helping to create more
transparent, innovative and citizen-centred public services.
