Berlin has been actively shaping the future of open data for years – and this year, once again invites you to the Berlin Open Data Day on 28 May 2026 at the Festsaal of the Rotes Rathaus!
How can data become the key to a modern and high-performing administration? What strategic directions are being set by the federal government, the states, and municipalities to ensure a successful digital transformation? These questions will be explored through insights, practical impulses, and exchange within the open data network – with perspectives from all levels.
What to expect:
- Data as the key to the future – how Open Data is turning Berlin into a hub of innovation and a pioneer of digital administration
- Data as the foundation of modern state transformation – goals and priorities of the federal government in the new legislative period
- Is Open Data really to blame for power outages? – why open grid data is not a risk, but part of the solution
- Best practices from the Berlin Senate Chancellery – building a database for the responsibility catalogue as part of administrative reform, and the Data Hub Berlin as central infrastructure for citywide data management
- Open Data and the interplay of administrative digital transformation – perspectives from Berlin, Kreis Herford, Munich, and Hamburg
And of course, we’ll be there too! You can find us in the following programme sessions:
11:35–11:50: Data Hub Berlin as central IT infrastructure for citywide data management, with Martina Kuhaupt and Lisa Stubert
1:25pm–1:45pm: Open Data between provision and impact: a user-centred perspective on open data in Berlin using the ODES framework, with Klemens Maget and Tim Schnettker
Come by, connect with us, and help shape the future of open data!
