Now that this power has been seen, what happens next? What is the potential within data for unlocking public service improvement and innovation - for improving peoples’ lives?
This provided the backdrop for UKAuthority’s recent Innovation and Data4Good event which looked at developments in the field with a series of expert perspectives on new uses for data to help improve the lives and health of our citizens.
