The BE-GOOD project aims to unlock and extract value from public sector information to develop data-driven services for smart cities. It will create an ecosystem toolbox and deliver over 10 data-driven prototypes created by SMEs to address transnational public governance challenges. The project, led by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, has a budget of 6.4 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund and will run from 2016 to 2020. It seeks to create over 15 jobs and deliver tested solutions and validated business cases that generate opportunities from open data.

5. Innovative Procurement
• Procurement: best vehicle for stimulating open data
ecosystems and channeling stakeholders’ interventions.
• EU switching from procedural to strategic perspective
• Innovation, sustainability and social responsibility:
• Directive 2014/24/EU: new forms of public procurement suited to
innovation fostering among public and private partners.
• Traditional public procurement procedures: open or restricted
procedures, competitive procedure with negotiation
• Innovation partnership: dedicated to the acquisition of “innovative
products and services that cannot be found on the market”
• (Design) contest usually applies to the procurement (or the reward)
of artistic works but also apply to some forms of design works (e.g.
architectural and data processing).

6. Open Data Ecosystems: Introducing the
Stimulator Function
• Ecosystem approach: strategic
ecosystem thinking
• Ecosystem perspective
• as an analysis tool
• as a steering tool to influence
and stimulate the ecosystem
• Assess the relevance of a new
role:
• stimulate the ecosystem,
• address lacks and weaknesses
identified in the ecosystem
• foster the innovation potential
of the ecosystem

7. First lessons learned
• Market exploration and opportunity mapping
• Lack of experience and methods among civil servants
• Solution providers engagement
• Public administration procurement offices readiness for innovative procurement
• Call for tenders dissemination: to be early prepared
• Language and procedural barriers hindering foreign SMEs participation
• Integration of market uptake perspective in the procurement process
• Data ownership on long term
• Data management plan
• Balance between IPR and market uptake
• Impact evaluation: ROI on stimulation actions
