Technologiestiftung Berlin: “How Berlin can make better use of its data”

Data is a key foundation for decision-making, innovation and modern public administration. Yet it is often difficult to locate. In part three of the series “Empowering Berlin digitally”, the Technologiestiftung Berlinv(TSB) examines how Berlin can be better governed throughmore accessible data.
