As the first global business forum for cross-industry data leaders, Datum Future supports trustworthy data usage and works with cross-industry leaders committed to creating economic and social value through the use of data. The data economy will flourish only if it is based on sustainability, value-creation, individual agency and societal benefit. In a world of patchwork regulation, building an ethical, sustainable data environment means that business must demonstrate leadership, engagement and foresight. Datum Future is dedicated to advancing a future in which people are confident that their data creates value for themselves and society. Underpinned by evidence-based research, innovation and people-centric values, we are leading the 21st century cross-industry vision and voice for data. Our aim is to address the gaps between policy, regulation, industry and people. We explore how policy theory, social and economic modelling, regulatory management, industry innovations and adoption of solutions by people can dovetail to deliver integrated data solutions based on individuals’ needs. Our areas of interest include:  Trustworthy data usage & sharing in business and society ​  How can businesses enable safe and secure portability?​  How can business drive data use in the Public Interest and for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?​  Data ethics in business ​  How can businesses be more transparent about, and trustworthy with, data?​  How can tech be responsible and solve for bias and quality?​  Personal data and tech ​  How can privacy-preserving technology work at scale?​  How can we accelerate new data-driven business models and value exchanges?​  ​ Smart regulation and innovation​  How can innovation in the new usage of data support value creation and smart regulation? ​
