In the first of a series of free events for NSW Government employees, the NSW Department of Finance, Services and Innovation together with the CSIRO’s Data61 will explore opportunities to unlock the value of public data to better inform public policy, improve services and benefit the citizens of NSW.
NSW Government employees can come along to the Sydney Startup Hub on Wednesday 14 November to hear from a range of leading government thinkers about how technology can help governments drive impact through strategic use of their data, while managing risk and preserving privacy.
We want you to feel inspired about the value of data and walk away from the event with ideas about how data technology can be used to solve your agency’s challenges.
