│Providing consulting and customized data to startup challengers using public data
The government stated that it will continue to open up core data from public institutions to focus on supporting entrepreneurship and private sector growth.
On the 11th, Deputy Minister of Finance Choi Sang-dae, who visited “GoodDoc,” a data utilization company that provides hospital and clinic reservations and medical services using data from the Health Insurance Assessment Institute, a public institution, held a meeting with companies with experience in public data start-ups and data disputes.
At the conference on this day, government officials, including the 2nd Deputy Minister of Finance, Public Innovation Examiner, and Chief Ethical Management Officer, and business stakeholders included Gooddoc, CLM&S, Red Table, Oasis Business, Antock Representatives and others attended.
On this occasion, Deputy Minister Choi said, “In order to make public institutions 'small but good at work', the government is actively promoting three major innovation projects, including improving productivity, strengthening autonomy, responsibility, and capacity, and strengthening cooperation between private and public institutions,” and emphasized that “in particular, providing excellent data held by public institutions to citizens can be a driving force for private sector growth, so cooperation between private and public institutions is key.”
To this end, the government formed a public institution data opening TF in October of last year and opened public data that people are interested in, such as real estate, medical care, and tourism. Currently, we are operating a 'Data Startup Support Supporters' system that can provide customized consulting data to startup challengers using data from public institutions, and a recovery support program for those who fail to start a business.
The companies that attended the conference sympathized with the importance of actively opening up data from public institutions as a starting point for the data industry, and shared the awareness of the importance of expanding consumer-centered data openness and public-private cooperation in order to increase the growth and competitiveness of the data industry. They also presented various opinions, such as customized training support to support the capabilities and growth of data utilization companies.
Deputy Minister Choi Sang-dae stated, “We will cooperate with relevant departments to reflect the information desired by citizens in policies so that they can share the information that citizens want in the way they want,” and “we plan to continue improving institutional deficiencies through continuous communication and cooperation with the industry.”
