We believe that people and organisations should be provided with practical and effective solutions to manage, control and create value from their personal and business data. Instead of a handful of global players enjoying a virtual monopoly on the exploitation of data, we will embed the principles of Data Sovereignty to stimulate commercial growth, healthy competition and vibrant innovation which will super-charge the digital economy. Data Sovereignty means creating simple, uniform and secure ways for consumers and businesses to re-use their decentralised data whenever and wherever they wish. It is based on the development of collaborative 'soft infrastructures' of functional, legal, technical and operational agreements. To achieve this goal, we are building a movement of partners to influence the development of national and European legislation in the domain of data sharing.
