[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Junho] The government will fully open over 1,400 types of data this year. It will also promote the Data Voucher Support Project and the MyData project to revitalize the data economy.


On the 5th, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced its policies for activating the data economy this year.


The government will fully open over 1,400 types of data from 10 big data platforms established last year across various fields. It will open about 80 types of data including card consumption, insurance and loan products, and appraisal data, and make about 110 types of population data such as floating population and resident population available for private sector use.


In particular, common standards for linkage between big data platforms will be established and applied, and expansion of linkage with other platforms and centers will be promoted. To secure high-quality data, participation from private companies and institutions holding diverse data will be encouraged.


This year, the government will continue the Data Voucher Support Project so that small and venture companies can purchase data or receive data processing services, and will carry out the MyData project, which utilizes personal data under the control of the data subject.


Additionally, the government expects that once the Data 3 Act, currently pending in the National Assembly, is passed, the variety of usable data will increase and the value of data will be enhanced. Through this, it is anticipated that the creation of new innovative services in various fields will be activated.



The Ministry of Science and ICT stated, "To ensure that the effects of the law amendment appear quickly in the field, we plan to accelerate the development of the data industry focusing on key sectors such as finance and healthcare," and added, "We will promptly implement follow-up measures such as the revision of subordinate laws and systems."
