Hi all,

This is my translation (native French speaker). Would you happen to have
sources for these claims? I'm preparing a report on strategies to support
innovation through open data, and would be very interested in using these
figures.

- Data opening by the Danish government (costs: EUR 14 million, benefits:
EUR 62 million)

- Information sharing between the municipalities of Catalunya [Spanish
province] (cost: EUR 21.5 million, benefits: EUR 14 million)

- US meteorological data supports a USD 1.5+ billion industry

- Application contests based on open data: Washington, D.C. (cost: USD 50k,
benefits: USD 2 million)

- Transparency portal in California (cost: USD 61k, benefits: USD 20
million) and Texas (benefits: USD 5 million)

- Access to geospatial information in England and Wales has increased GDP by
nearly GBP 320 million in 2008-09.

- Three companies which allow US citizens to compare different government
retirement plans based on the data.gov portal have earned respectively USD
100k, USD 3 million and USD 10 million revenues.

- Talent development in Montreal: large companies in California have leapt
ahead and are accumulating experience, talent and technologies. The longer
competitors wait, the hard it will be for them to catch up.

Hope this helps -- let me know if you have sources to back this up.

Cheers,

Romain
