Location Europe (previously known as GeoE3) has made it to the list of Finland’s Most Interesting Data Economy Solutions

The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra selected the platform in the list of the most interesting solutions in the data economy, which was published on 12 December. The panel stated that

“Data can stimulate new businesses and solutions that can help the green transition. A new platform has been developed that brings together a wide range of data from multiple countries. This has the potential to be a catalyst for new markets and businesses. It remains to be seen whether a market will emerge.” (sitra.fi)

GeoE3, the Geospatially Enabled Ecosystem for Europe OGC is contributing to, provides further insights in its press release.

GeoE3 is a project co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union that will provide the vital connection between existing and emerging National, Regional and Cross-Border digital services. The action provides dynamic integration of high-value data sets and services (e.g. meteorological or statistical data) with geospatial features from existing national geospatial data platforms (e.g. building data or road network data). This simplifies meaningful analysis and visualization in a national and cross-border context. By enabling the Open Public Data Digital Service Infrastructure, GeoE3 develops fundamental services to better serve the European citizen by enhanced availability, interoperability, and integration of services.
