Transparency and Open Data

Alignment with the national Open Data strategy

The Loulé num Click project is part of the national initiative of Digital Commercial Districts, financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), and is aimed at strengthening local economic competitiveness through the digital capacity building of the commercial sector, the enhancement of the tourist offer, and the promotion of territorial innovation.
