Data City Sabae

General Comment on Commendation at the Committee’s Discretion Last Year (by the Chief Juror)

Attributes of awardees this time are really diverse including Ministry, Prefecture, big city, local city, town, enterprise, laboratory of university, NPO, voluntary group, etc. Prize awarding with such a great variety of awardees is really rare. Participating members of awardees this time started the work with a pure public spirit and enthusiasm. I hope, thanks to the efforts of these people, open data could gain respects from people, and also open up perspective for creation of new businesses.
