The collaborative efforts between local governments, entrepreneurs, and developers in using open data to create innovative solutions are gaining momentum, particularly in the context of location intelligence. The Go Code Colorado app challenge has demonstrated the potential for successful businesses that pair open data with location-based insights, showcasing the value of publicly available data in addressing business challenges. By leveraging location data, teams have developed applications such as water discovery and analysis tools, noise analysis software, and platforms to help small farmers find under-utilized truck space. This model serves as a great example for states looking to leverage open data more effectively and for entrepreneurs contemplating the development of successful business ideas that can create sustainable success.
