This inventory provides examples of data analytics use cases from national, regional and local governments across the EU, focusing on leveraging open data. They aim to illustrate how data-driven insights, powered by open data, can equip governments with the ability to quickly respond to challenges, improve efficiency, foster transparency and create more effective policies to benefit their citizens. It is expected that by reviewing these examples, public administrations at national, regional and local levels can be inspired to design and implement their own data-driven approaches.

This report, developed by the Public Sector Tech Watch Observatory and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), offers an analysis of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are improving interoperability in the European Public Sector. The findings highlight that one-fourth of the cases collected use AI techniques to support interoperability through various applications. An interesting output is that AI has the ability to standardise, clean, structure and increase the usage of large volumes of data, thus improving overall quality and making it easier to use and share between different systems.
