Choi Sang-dae, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, stated, “We will significantly open up public institution data to support private sector growth and establish customized startup support programs utilizing this data.”

On the 11th, Choi Sang-dae, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, visited Goodoc, a data-utilizing company that provides hospital reservation and medical services using data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, a public institution, and made these remarks. Vice Minister Choi emphasized, “The government is actively pursuing three major innovation tasks: improving productivity of public institutions, enhancing autonomy, responsibility, and capabilities, and strengthening cooperation between the private sector and public institutions. In particular, providing excellent data held by public institutions to the public is a driving force for private sector growth.”

He added, “Since forming the Public Institution Data Opening Task Force in October last year, the government has opened public data in areas of high public interest such as real estate, medical care, and tourism. Currently, we are preparing a Data Startup Supporters* system that can provide customized consulting data to startup challengers using public institution data, as well as a re-challenge support program for those who have failed in their startup attempts.” Furthermore, he stated, “We will reflect the field suggestions collected through today’s meeting into policies in cooperation with relevant ministries so that the information desired by the public is shared in the way they want. We will continue to improve institutional shortcomings through ongoing communication with the industry.”
