Parallel Session: ‘Start-up’ (Theatre 2)

Open Data, little companies: Open Data involves all kinds of open databases--business, government, science, technology, retail, social media, and more--and using those resources to your best advantage. Unlike most Big Data, Open Data is transparent, accessible, and reusable in ways that give it the power to transform business, government, and society. It attracts the biggest names in data technology but it also gives some smaller, emerging players a chance to shine. We will take a look to learn how the hot start ups are approaching Open Data differently to explore new opportunities and disrupt the world.
