Competitiveness is one of the important goals that economies are trying to achieve. Some experts associate competitiveness with stability and growth, and as such governments are designing solutions to increase competitiveness to improve the quality of life in their communities. To contribute to this goal, we are currently researching how data can be used to increase competitiveness of Smart Territories. This paper presents the progress of our ongoing research that aims to answer the following question: Which artifacts drive the competitiveness of smart territories? This question will help us to answer the overall research question: How to obtain the greatest value from data to contribute to the competitiveness of smart territories? So far, we have proposed a data strategy model that was validated with the private sector, and we are working on the first version of the model adaptation for the design of an effective data strategy for smart territories. We presented this advance in the paper Designing a Data Strategy for Organizations and its adaptation of Smart Territories [8]. We will expand and customize the model focusing on the field of competitiveness of Smart Territories. One of the biggest challenges in the research is identifying the boundaries of competitiveness and, subsequently, howtousethe data effectively to expand them. The focus of this paper is to identify these boundaries by researching competitiveness. As such, the paper presents the boundaries of competitiveness and the factors that engage in this subject area to better understand the relationship between competitiveness and the data smart territory strategy.
