about

From data to business in under 3 minutes.

Watch how open data becomes a practical advantage for SMEs.

Most public data catalogues hand you a list of files. They never show you what the data looks like, where it comes from, or what an SME could realistically build on top of it. This atlas does that — 17 domains, concrete sample windows, real sources, and explicit exploitation angles for small and medium businesses.

Sample data shown is illustrative. Each domain page links you to the authoritative source so you can wire the real feed into your product.

Finland as the reference market

Finland is the most mature laboratory for the European data economy. Sitra's Fair Data Economy Rulebook ships ready-made legal templates for data-sharing agreements, the Data Spaces Alliance Finland (DSAF) coordinates cross-industry adoption, and the DATASTEP programme gives Uusimaa SMEs hands-on access to Finnish and European testbeds before commercial launch.

That stack is why small Finnish firms — Biocode, Eduten, Steelbridge, Vastuu Group — already ship products on top of shared, consented data without rebuilding the plumbing. This atlas points at the same open feeds those companies started from. See the full example cards.
