THE DATA TANK VZW

Think tanks and research institutions

Our mission is to unlock data’s potential and serve the common good by using it differently. We strive to gather, access, and reuse data responsibly, while placing people first and keeping our values of transparency, inclusivity, internationalism, vision, and creativity top-of-mind.

Until now, the conversation around data has been dominated by concerns about privacy, protection, and profit. This debate is understandable and valid. The problem, however, is about more than just data misuse. It is also about missed opportunities to re-use data within and across different fields for the benefit of society. This is what The Data Tank sets out to address.

Our vision means a significant shift in how we think about data, how we access it and what we do with it. We work with partners around the globe to unlock data’s potential: gathering, accessing, and re-using it responsibly, to better equip us to tackle the pressing issues of our time.
