Bridging the Gap Between European and Mexican ICT Standards in Open Data

InDiCo-Global Webinar Series

Open data is more than just information — it’s a foundation for transparency, participation, and innovation. In this webinar, we spotlight an ongoing initiative led by Ethos Innovación en Políticas Públicas, which seeks to strengthen Mexico’s open data landscape by aligning with European ICT standards and best practices.

As Mexico redefines its national open data policy, the project is leveraging this moment to drive technical cooperation, build institutional capacity, and support public access to trustworthy and usable information.

In this session, Teresa López Barajas will unpack:

• The current state of open data policy and infrastructure in Mexico
• How European digital standards can help enhance data quality, accessibility, and interoperability
• The broader implications for democracy, transparency, and digital governance

In a context where access to information is increasingly at risk, this work highlights the role of open data not only as a technical challenge — but as a democratic imperative.
