Why are we doing this?
Apps for Europe wants to show the world not only the power of Open Data but also its economic potential. Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commission, who strongly supports Apps for Europe, estimates the financial value of Open Data to be worth billions of euros. By helping you scale your idea into a successful business that could reach across Europe, we are progressing the potential of open data together!
