In collaboration with our members, and as part of the Icebreaker One Trust Framework, we are creating verification and assurance services for organisations who wish to share, access, and use data. This will enable pre-authorised access to trusted data, streamlining secure data sharing and accelerating innovation. Tiers for the service include verification and assurance at both organisational and dataset levels.
By being part of a Trust Framework, organisations can verify who they are sharing data with, and assure that they are working aligned with both existing and emerging standards.
We propose the following membership tiers. At this stage of development, we have left the choice of amount to you.
- Startup / micro-business: from £40/m
- Small business: from £100/m
- Medium business: from £400/m
- Enterprise: from £800/m
- Strategic Partnership: scope-dependent, please contact partners@ib1.org
If you would rather focus on helping to grow our community and reach, receive updates, and help to keep our non-profit running, please join as an individual or organisational Supporter.
Help shape the future
Icebreaker One Members are shaping the future of the web of net-zero data.
IB1 builds on the principles of Open Banking (which is used by thousands of organisations and millions of people worldwide), and Open Energy (which it has developed with public and private sector funding over the past two years). Based on extensive feedback from the market, IB1 is now entering its next phase to enable data to be shared in a trusted manner, with common market rules for licensing, security, technical and legal principles, and standards.
Together we are connecting data across sectors to inform better net-zero decision-making. Membership offers the opportunity to shape this future. Our growing network helps our Members to identify shared challenges and opportunities and work together towards a Net Zero Future. This network gives access to diverse expertise and people who can help you become more effective in defining and implementing data-sharing use cases.
The drive towards net zero is a collective-action problem. Sharing data is central to this, but enabling low-friction data sharing itself requires many organisations, across different sectors and the world to work together. No single organisation can carry out this work unilaterally.
