Do you believe in a Datasphere that fosters our ability to improve people’s lives and deal with global challenges?


We do.

Responsibly unlocking the value of data for all

The Datasphere Initiative is a non-profit dedicated to global collaboration on technical and policy solutions for the urgent, multidimensional, and cross-border challenges of data governance.

We do this by connecting and amplifying voices from stakeholders from across sectors, conducting research on concrete data challenges and opportunities, experimenting with policy and technical data-sharing solutions and working with decision makers to enact change in data governance narratives, policies and strategies.
