Company mission

To help people to identify and address how open data can be used effectively.

Our take

Business and funding models can restrict the social and economic benefits we receive from data and expose us to privacy and security risks. Data monopolies can increase inequality in how information is accessed and used. Startups, researchers and communities can miss out if they can’t afford the fees or access is delayed.

Founded in 2012, the ODI aims to help enterprises and governments build an open, trustworthy data ecosystem so that information can be used to produce better outcomes for society. They're an independent, non-profit and non-partisan company, whose vision is a future where, people, organisations and communities use data to make better decisions, more quickly.

And it would seem they are not alone. Backed by major funding and already working alongside the likes of Microsoft, it's clear that the ODI's vision is one which many others want to bring about. The ODI, then, looks well set to make a better, data-driven world a reality.
