Open Data in Mauritius - Q&A session with delegation of World Bank

Hi craftsmen,

it's time for another monthly topic-related meetup. This month, we are very lucky to have a delegation of experts from the World Bank in Mauritius. The event will be arranged as a question & answer session about anything related to Open Data. Especially, what's the current situation in Mauritius, and what might be expected within the upcoming months.

Open Data in Mauritius

Use this unique opportunity to establish direct communication with representatives of the World bank, the Ministry of Technology, Communication and Innovation (MTCI) as well as the National Computer Board (NCB). During more than 2 hours you have the chance to get answers to all your questions about Open Data in Mauritius, and beyond.

There are already interesting use cases done in other countries which could be an inspiration for similar ideas here in Mauritius.
