    'Dados.gov' is in line with the government strategy to promote a Public Administration (PA) that is increasingly open to participating and collaborating with citizens. The platform will enable access - automatically where possible - to raw datasets compiled by the PA. Confidential information and/or personal data are protected, and information is properly organised and made available to the public in electronic formats that allow easy reading, processing and interlinking.

    ESPAP is the Portuguese Government Agency for Shared Services focused in developing a Strategy for an Intelligent State. State exists to serve the Citizens and they must understand this as a sense of urgency in a permanent Contract of Trust.

    We need more than ever to focus on a State of the Future and the ESPAP example came to stay.
