Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award at the “42nd Outstanding Regional Informatization Case Presentation Contest,” hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and held over two days from September 11 to 12.

The “Outstanding Regional Informatization Case Presentation Contest” is held annually to share and disseminate best practices discovered by local governments across the country, thereby developing effective regional digital policies and establishing a foundation for advancing regional informatization.

This year’s contest featured research projects submitted by 16 metropolitan and provincial governments. Award-winning institutions were selected through a process that included public review, document review, final presentation review, and on-site evaluation.

At the contest, the city presented the achievements of the “Busan-style Integrated Data Platform (Big-Data Wave),” which includes the first-ever data marketplace service established by a local government, an integrated data repository, and an integrated data map.

The “Data Marketplace Service” was particularly significant, as it went beyond simple transactions to evolve into a venue for cooperation and joint utilization among local data companies, synergy creation through analysis, as well as information exchange and promotion.

In addition, the Busan-style Integrated Data Platform (Big-Data Wave) has established a system for the opening and utilization of public and private sector data, enabling anyone to analyze and use data, and provides analysis results in various forms such as dashboards and data maps.

Through public-private collaboration, the city has fostered a data ecosystem involving data sharing, utilization, and distribution, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the regional data industry. This effort received high praise from both the judges and on-site participants.

With this award, the city expects to accelerate data-based administrative innovation, leading to the expansion of citizen-oriented digital services, the sustainable growth of the regional data industry, and the strengthening of global competitiveness.

Cho Young-tae, Director General of the Administrative Management Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, stated, “This award is a recognition of our efforts in data-based administrative innovation,” and added, “We will continue to develop administrative services utilizing digital technologies such as artificial intelligence to realize customized, citizen-centered administration and to devote our best efforts to sustainable digital innovation.”
