Increasing access to data held across the economy
This research provides an evidence-based framework to inform DCMS’s prioritisation of possible interventions to increase access to data held across the economy.
Mission 1 of the National Data Strategy commits to unlocking the value of data held across the economy. Better access to data will be central to doing this, in a way that levels the playing field for SMEs, non-profits and the UK’s regions.
This research identifies a set of levers that government could use to increase access to data held across the economy. It was developed by Frontier Economics, with guidance by expert advisor Professor Diane Coyle.
This research will inform a policy framework on where greater data availability can support growth and innovation, and what government’s role should be in supporting the market.
