We set up a fund to support projects that enable trustworthy and ethical #datasharing. These projects aim to help citizens and businesses lower their impact on the environment, improve public services and save lives.
5/8 @ODILeeds has been understanding how building and strengthening #communities that have a shared interest can play an important role to address some of our biggest societal challenges: theodi.org/article/odi-le…
6/8 To enable small #energy#cooperatives to pool and share data in trustworthy ways and bring more value back to their members, Open Data Manchester has been testing the ‘data-cooperative model’: theodi.org/article/open-d…
8/8 These stimulus fund projects were part of @ODIHQ’s R&D programme – funded by @innovateuk – and our broader programme of work on data institutions. Read more about how and why we ran this stimulus fund here: theodi.org/project/rd-dat…

Today we are launching the Smart Data Innovation Guidebook, with support from our colleagues at @beisgovuk, to help regulators, govt bodies and others implement #SmartData schemes and create value through #data innovation
#SmartData is the secure sharing of customer #data with authorised third-party providers, upon the customer’s request
The providers then use this data to provide innovative services for the consumer or business user, e.g. automatic switching or better account management

#SmartData is a data portability initiative, allowing individuals to obtain & reuse personal #data for their own purposes across different services
Estimates suggest that greater personal data mobility could increase UK GDP by approx. £27.8bn pa
