    North East Leading The Way In Open Data

     The UK is recognised as leading the way internationally for its use of open data.

     The FSB in the North East wants to see our region become recognised as the leading region in the UK in the way we use open data.

     The region has all the constituent parts to make this a reality.

     We have a thriving tech and digital sector with some world class developers and a broader business community that wants to use data better.

     Working in partnership with Sunderland Software City and Dynamo North East our conference will help make this a reality.
