About publiq
publiq is a Belgian organization that connects people with cultural, leisure, and educational activities through platforms like UiTdatabank and UiTPAS. They help cities, organizations, and event organizers promote their activities and make culture and leisure more accessible to everyone.
Challenge
Fragmented cultural data hindered insights and innovation.
The cultural sector in Flanders lacked a unified, data-driven platform to connect fragmented cultural data across various organizations, making it difficult to generate insights or deliver innovative services to the public.
Solution
A decentralized data mesh platform for seamless data sharing.
ACA Group developed a scalable, decentralized data mesh platform that allows cultural players to share and reuse datasets, enabling analytical insights and innovative service creation while ensuring security, flexibility, and cost-efficiency.
Result
Personalized cultural experiences and increased participation.
The platform empowers cultural organizations to connect with audiences through personalized, data-driven recommendations, streamline processes, and increase participation in Flemish cultural events, with potential applications in other government services.
