Incheon Data Hub Phase 1 Project Launched... Establishing Data Storage and More

Incheon City announced on the 17th that it will invest 4 billion KRW to promote the data hub construction project from this year until 2025.

Last year, the city established an information system master plan for the construction of the Incheon Data Hub, designed the development direction and target system for the data hub construction, and recently commissioned the first phase of the Incheon Data Hub construction project.

Accordingly, this year, the city will build a data repository for integrated data collection, advance a user-centered big data integrated platform, reconstruct the Incheon Data Portal to strengthen citizen-oriented data services, and establish infrastructure for the stable operation of the Incheon Data Hub services.

The city plans to create a foundation for a "digital platform government where all data is connected" by gathering data produced and held not only by the city but also by districts, counties, and affiliated organizations.

Additionally, by sharing processed and analyzed data, including raw data, with universities, research institutes, companies, and citizens, the city aims to enhance the usability of public data.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Once the Incheon Data Hub is established, it is expected to resolve issues such as data reliability problems caused by the lack of data collection and provision methods, inability to share data due to the absence of structured and unstructured data processing functions, and shortage of open data."
