21c was honoured to receive a delegation from Saudi Arabia (1-3 March 2015) to discuss Open Data trends in the Kingdom and wider Gulf Region. The delegation was keen to learn from 21c’s experience helping over 140 cities across 6 continents to open and use data, as well as to learn more about the key factors which have propelled the UK to the front of international Open Data Rankings. 21c used the visit to further Open Data Knowledge Exchange by arranging meetings with the Open Data Institute and Communities and Local Government. Stayed tuned for a Saudi Open Data Node near you soon!
