Since 2019, the Data Economy Lab has been studying organizations that act as data intermediaries or stewards of data. Building upon efforts by organizations like Ada Lovelace & Mozilla Foundation, we have compiled information on over 150+ initiatives across the globe - displayed in this repository below.
This repository is currently under development. We're in the process of building this out further and adding new models - Are we missing something? Write to us at [email protected] to learn more or add an organization
Curious to learn more about the value stewards can offer to their beneficiaries and how this is structured?
Watch interviews from our Tracking Stewardship video series which spotlights conversations we've had with practitioners to understand the multiple ways in which stewardship can be structured and how this varies across sectors.
For our tenth video in this series, we spoke to Stuart Fulton, Catalyst for Change and Innovation at PescaData, a SaaS platform working with Mexico’s fishing cooperatives to digitise records about daily catch and revenues to enable eco-certification for fisheries. During the discussion, we explore the possibilities of how the value of this data can be returned to fishing communities/cooperatives and what efforts PescaData will continue to push for in the future.
The founder of Posmo, a mobility data cooperative that is paving the way for a sustainable future for cities through data-driven research and insights, Lea Strohm, was the subject of our ninth film in this series. We address the potential for improved sharing, the use of data to make a greater effect, and the ecosystem-level assistance required to expand and scale their operations.
For our eighth video in this series, we spoke to Julian Ranger, the founder of digi.me which has built a privacy-by-design platform that grants individual users maximum control over their data. During the discussion, we explore the possibilities of better sharing and accerlating the velocity of personal data while maintaining consent, security and privacy at the heart of operations.
For our seventh video in this series, we spoke to Marlene Ronstedt, Crypto Relations lead at Streamr. In the discussion, we learn about how Streamr's peer to peer network works and cover existing and possible use-cases for the data union model.
We spoke to Matthias De Bièvre, CEO of Visions & Co-Founder of 'aNewGovernance', and during the discussion we learn how Visions is realising their goal of creating user-friendly, transparent and accessible data exchange networks in skills/education and mobility.
We spoke to Mad Price Ball, the Co-Founder of Open Humans' a platform 'dedicated to empowering individuals and communities around their personal data, to explore and share for the purposes of education, health, and research'.
We spoke to Hays Witt, the Co-Founder of Driver's Seat where we explored why Driver's Seat was founded and how it is structured to enable workers in the platform economy to derive maximum value and agency over their data - effectively reclaiming power in an otherwise inequitable data economy.
We spoke to Carrie Walter and learnt about Clue's vision and how this is supported by the responsible use and sharing of data with trusted research organization, powering inclusive studies on reproductive and menstrual health.
We spoke to Antti Piirainen, the head of communications at Findata, a Health and Social Data Permit Authority in Finland that issues permits for the secondary use of health and social data. During the discussion, we explore the processes and possible uses behind the secondary use of health and social data.
To better understand what data stewardship structures can look like, we've highlighted various models and engaged in conversation with practitioners. For our first video in the Tracking Stewardship series, we spoke to Ernst Hafen, the founder of MiData, a health cooperative. We explore how individual and collective value of health data can be unlocked while giving us greater control and agency over its governance..
