The Open Data Hub annually honors a remarkable individual with the Contributor of the Year award recognizing their exceptional efforts in enhancing the community of The Open Data Hub and its impact. This year, the accolade was presented to Henri Egger, whose contributions have profoundly influenced the Open Data Hub’s success
In his acceptance speech, Henri shared his motivation for contributing to the Open Data Hub project at NOI Techpark. “The biggest motivation for my contributions,” he stated, “is the project’s ability to facilitate data sharing across various fields.
