At this time, the available data is becoming a trend followed by governments to give you information on general public spending, budgets, etc. in available platforms, absolve to make use of and available to any resident. This way it seeks to generate a more clear and resident participatory system. As data is released under this license, any citizen have access to and make use of the information to build circulation platforms, information visualizations, and so forth. This not only benefits people, it allows professionals, academics, journalists and businesses to process these details to build study, articles, plus much more full programs.

On March 5, Open Data Peru invite different experts, residents and companies to discuss and read about the utilization and contribution of open data.
