Why you should engage in impactful open-data projects

Expansion into international markets

Partnering with locally implemented actors offers you a true mean of collecting data, that is serving the ecosystem. You gain market intelligence, and so do local NGOs and economic stakeholders.

Enhance your reputation and Social Responsibility

Social initiatives bring positive media exposure and improve the organization's image as a socially responsible. This can attract customers, investors, and talented employees who want to be associated with organizations striving to make a positive impact.

Contribute to open-data where it matters the most

There is a huge data gap in underserved areas. This lack of information is a true issue for NGOs and social projects that can not afford to collect data for their operations. By supporting the collection of open-data, your impact is evolving with local ecosystems and communities.
