This paper analyses the environment of open data and its perception by Mexicans based on the National Survey on Access to Public Information and Protection of Personal Data (ENAID 2016), and the Survey on Public Perception of Science and Technology (ENPECYT 2015). The literature review was focused on how the open data age represents a new social paradigm that has revolutionized the way that people and organizations obtain, analyse and use large amounts of information to make decisions. Mexico has mechanisms and platforms for access to open data, however, its use and contribution to real innovation is unknown. This work focuses on this problem, the data reflect important weaknesses in the perception of open data implementation as well as little interest in innovation and ignorance about it.
