Responsibly unlocking the value of data for all.

The Datasphere Initiative is a global network of stakeholders building agile frameworks to responsibly unlock the value of data for all.

A human-created global Datasphere is shaping our digital society.

Our data-driven era is fraught with policy challenges. Building a more equitable and inclusive digital society requires a bold change of perspective regarding data governance. 

The Datasphere can be defined as the complex system encompassing all types of data and their dynamic interactions with human groups and norms. How we govern it will determine the future of human society in the 21st century.

The Datasphere Initiative is starting a paradigm shift in how data governance models are conceived and implemented. It is on a mission to promote a collaboratively governed Datasphere.
