EnCLOD – Enchancing governance Capacity of local authorities using Open Data

Data is crucial for governance and economic growth, yet local authorities in Central Europe often struggle to use it effectively. Meanwhile, the private sector and civil society are advancing rapidly in digitalisation, making extensive use of Open Data and IoT (Internet of Things), but their potential in solving urban and social issues remains underutilised. The EnCLOD project aims to enhance governance in five Central European territories by promoting the use of Open Data and IoT sensor networks. This initiative strengthens multi-level governance, engages civil society, and fosters public-private collaboration, driving innovation and economic prosperity.
