Can business-to-government data sharing serve the public good?

Authors: Barbara da Rosa Lazarotto

ABSTRACT

Data is considered to be the world’s biggest business, leading some to affirm that it can be considered a commodity. Access to data has been essential to promote competition and innovation between different stakeholders, including the public sector. The European Union has enacted a series of Regulations that overlap and interconnect with the main objective of enhancing the sharing of data from all parties. In this context, this research aims to explore them and analyze if they indeed assist business-to-government data sharing.

Keywords: Data sharing– Business-to-government (B2G) – Competition and innovation – European Union regulations – Data as a commodity
