We are pleased to have been represented at the 2024 United Nations World Data Forum
by the attendance of our Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Allen Wang.
As a critical platform for advancing global data capabilities the World Data Forum fosters in-depth discussions
on data innovation and future trends for the public good that are aligned with the SDG guideline.
This year’s forum focuses on making data more inclusive, timely, and socially impactful.
💡 Key Topics
1️⃣ Data Innovation and Inclusivity
The Copenhagen Framework actively promotes citizen participation in data. It tackles intersectional issues such as gender, race, and disabilities to ensure comprehensive data coverage for decision-making. While some organizations still struggle with inclusivity, this framework paves the way for more representative data.
2️⃣ Balancing Trust and Privacy
Experts are currently exploring cutting-edge technologies like Federated Learning. They actively address data-sharing challenges while preserving privacy. Although privacy concerns persist, building a strong foundation of trust remains critical for the success of a data-driven economy.
3️⃣ The Social Value of Data
Take, for example, the open data initiatives implemented in Medellín, Colombia. These projects not only reduced crime rates but also mitigated urban heat island effects, thereby contributing to sustainable development. While many regions face urban challenges, Medellín demonstrates how open data can drive tangible social benefits.
4️⃣ Collaboration and Ecosystems
Stakeholders actively harness the collective data power of national statistical agencies, civil society organizations, and private enterprises. They work together while respecting privacy practices. In contrast to isolated efforts, this collaborative approach creates a dynamic ecosystem that fully unlocks data’s potential.
💡 The Future of Data Lies in…
It is not enough to simply own data; we must actively explore its possibilities and transform it into actionable value. We are now shifting toward data as a service—enhancing data quality and ensuring continuous updates builds trust and nurtures a culture of data democratization. Although challenges remain, this transformative approach heralds a new era of data utilization.
