““A tremendously successful initiative that has gone above and beyond what was expected"”

Funder

Huge amounts of data are being generated worldwide: spanning our financial systems, energy, water, transport, our built world and our environment. To make the most of its value, and reduce risks, we need to connect it with those who need it, with right protections for everyone. In a volatile world, good governance doesn’t add delay, it accelerates adoption and mitigates risk.

We work with industry, consultancies, legal, technology companies, and with regulators and government to co-create robust data governance. AI is now accelerating market needs. Our work helps enable data to flow securely, with permission to unlock tangible value within and across sectors.
