Jaime Bernal presents at PUBSIC 2025 conference

PhD researcher Jaime Bernal presented his work in progress at the PUBSIC conference on February 7, 2025, in Utrecht. His paper, From Data Asymmetry to Alliance? Business-to-Government Data Sharing in Amsterdam explores the complexities of mandatory data sharing policies between businesses and the local government. The study identifies key tensions and regulatory challenges that shape the evolving landscape of smart city governance. By analyzing policy documents and interviews with key stakeholders in Amsterdam, the research offers fresh insights into the structural and ideological forces influencing data sharing agreements. Jaime’s presentation at PUBSIC provided a valuable opportunity to engage with scholars  in the field, contributing to the ongoing discussion on data governance and the role of regulation in public-private data collaborations.
