Today, our Founder Hayden Sutherland was invited to present at the inaugural OpenX Congress (https://www.openxcongress.com) run by https://openfuture.world – This was a 2 day event that covered the evolution from Open Banking to Cross-sector data sharing ecosystems.
During his presentation, Hayden explained about the complexities and intricacies of the fragmented UK transport & mobility sector and the newer challenges it faces as cities & regions race to adopt new account-based Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) systems… that create further silos of customer data.
And how individual transport providers and regional authorities & cities are still building and scaling-up their own “walled gardens” self-service accounts… with none of them interoperable with each other.
Hayden also went on to explain about how current GDPR “Rights of the Individual’ to data portability are currently ignored. And that Smart Data Government legislation, hopefully due sometime in the near future, should eventually facilitate the sharing of customer data across the transport & mobility sector.
