Switzerland's Federal Council Approves Open Government Data Master Plan for 2024-2027: Promoting Transparency and Innovation

The Federal Council of Switzerland has approved the 2024-2027 master plan for Open Government Data (OGD). This plan aims to make public administration data freely available to increase transparency, participation, and innovation in society.

It aligns with the Federal Act on the Use of Electronic Means to Conduct Official Tasks (EMOTA). The plan was developed by the Federal Statistical Office and sets out principles, goals, and measures for the next four years.

It also serves as a reference for cantons, communes, and state-related enterprises. The master plan defines five principles for open access data: availability, quality, infrastructure, synergies, and exchanges.

The implementation of this plan aims to keep Switzerland competitive in the field of OGD internationally. The OGD Office, attached to the Federal Statistical Office, will serve as an information center for official open access data.

OGD refers to government data made available to the public in a free, timely, machine-readable, and open format. The 2019-2023 strategy for OGD has been successful, with most measures implemented and the introduction of the open by default principle in the law.

The opendata.swiss portal has been developed and continues to grow, and there have been various communication measures and training available for open public data. Measures that were not completed during the previous period have been included in the new master plan..
