DATA SHARING FOR SOCIAL IMPACT

A policy to ensure businesses that collect data, share some of it, so communities can use it to create social value.

Would you be more likely to share information with businesses if you knew that they were legally required to share the data for community benefit? The value of data comes from scale, but organisations working to create social value often don’t have the resources to collect large data sets.

Private companies are far better equipped to collect and analyse vast quantities of user data, using it to drive profits and grow their business. If we could regulate private companies to collect and share their data – as well as the predictive models of a city they create from it – responsibly, whilst committing to provide a certain proportion of anonymised open data, could we create a more harmonious data economy?
