Part of 2. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 1:54 pm on 21 June 2017.
Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Last month I attended the first ever Welsh data dive, hosted by the ONS—an event where data scientists, developers and designers, in their own time, worked with charities to help them use data to analyse their projects and the communities they support. In this case, they worked with SafeLives and Llamau. Building on this exciting work, there are many businesses, public and third sector organisations that will benefit from such co-operation in the future. Would the Cabinet Secretary and his officials encourage further collaborations in this area and explore ways it could support economic growth and improve local services?
