The goal of the competition is to find new ways to utilize public sector data sources. It also aims to speed up activities that turn lively discussion about open data into concrete services and applications.
The Apps4Finland competition is open to everyone, with categories for individuals and enterprises.
The competition was now held for the second time. Organized by the Finnish Society for Online Democracy (Suomen Verkkodemokratiaseura) and Forum Virium Helsinki, both parties will also serve as the competition’s panel of judges.
In cooperation with the competition, open and free-to-use resources have been collected on the Suomi.fi website and mapped as part of the Helsinki Region Infoshare project.
