The Open Data Institute works with companies and governments to build an open, trustworthy data ecosystem
The ODI is a non-profit company, founded in 2012 by inventor of the web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and AI expert, Sir Nigel Shadbolt, and headquartered in King’s Cross, London, UK.
Our mission is to work with companies and governments to build an open, trustworthy data ecosystem. We want a world where data works for everyone. To do this, we work with businesses, governments, research organisations, public bodies, civil society, and philanthropic and other grant-giving organisations.
THE WORK WE DO
The ODI operates as an institute, and we also undertake commercial work that advances our mission. Our operating costs are met through a range of grants and commercial revenue.
Our work includes applied research; consultancy services; training; and providing free reports, tools and webinars.
We focus our efforts in three broad areas:
1. Improving the data practices of organisations so that they can build and manage adequate data infrastructure and data use
2. Tackling challenges so that the data ecosystem works better
3. Gathering and creating research, evidence and knowledge about data and the benefits of open, trustworthy data access, to inform companies and policymakers as they create data infrastructure, assets, practices and policies.
If you’d like to help us advance this work, we'd love to hear from you – please get in touch at info@theodi.org
