Uruguay fue sede de una nueva edición de Abrelatam, el encuentro regional sobre datos abiertos

Abrelatam and Condatos have consolidated a regional community in Latin America dedicated to promoting the ethical use of open data to strengthen democracy and inclusion. Unlike the commercial models predominant in other regions, the Latin American initiative prioritizes human rights and equity, highlighting issues such as gender, diversity, and artificial intelligence as central pillars for a more just society. The event’s dynamic, based on neutral exchanges among government, civil society, and academics, has enabled the construction of a fluid dialogue that transcends traditional barriers. This collaborative approach has positioned Uruguay as a regional leader, although it is acknowledged that high civil society participation does not always imply a perfect relationship, but rather a response to open political spaces that require constant vigilance. The recent announcement that Brazil will host the event in 2024 marks a crucial milestone by integrating a key market that was previously less connected to the regional agenda. This closes integration gaps and demonstrates the resilience and evolution of the movement, which has progressed from basic transparency to a deep commitment to the sustainability of public policies and social advocacy based on access to information.
